Registration Service
The Registration Service allows two types of searches to be made in the
registers it holds, and both searches require a statutory fee to be charged
to the researcher. These fees are set by the Registrar General for Scotland
and must be charged by every Registrar in Scotland.
A Particular Search is for a period of 5 years or part thereof
in the indexes of the Register and incurs a costs whether an entry
is found or not. If the entry is found, the researcher
may take pencil notes from only that entry.
A General Search allows the researcher (with the assistance of
the Registrar) to search the Indexes, examine any relevant entry and to
take pencil notes, and incurs a costs per hour.
The Registrar must remain with the researcher during both types of searches
to ensure that confidentiality is maintained and that the registers are
not damaged in any way. It would be necessary for the researcher to make
an appointment with the Registrar to conduct a general search.
Telephone enquiries - If a researcher contacts a Registrar to
see if an entry is held in that office, the Registrar will check that
they hold the appropriate entry and will confirm whether or not they have
the entry. The Registrar will also explain the appropriate fees for examining
or purchasing a copy of the entry. The Registrar will never provide any
information over the telephone or in person to a researcher without obtaining
the appropriate statutory fee first.
