What's changed?

We have refreshed the brand and brought each Gazette edition (London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes) under one overarching brand, ‘The Gazette’. So you can search and access information from across each of the editions via one website. You can still place notices in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazette, and you can filter your search results by geographical edition.

We have migrated all notices, going all the way back to our very first edition in November 1665, so you can access them online.

Searching made easier

We have improved our search function and changed the way notices are grouped in The Gazette so you can find the information you are looking for. We haven’t changed the notice codes, or notice titles, just the categories they sit within.

With our enhanced function, you can search The Gazette in a number of ways:

• by name
• by free text
• by postcode or place
• by date, or date range
• by notice type
• by edition

You can also prioritise your search results by the most recent or oldest, and save your searches and criteria to your personalised ‘MyGazette’ account. You can also generate an RSS feed from your search criteria.

Using the free text search box, you can create specific searches by using commonly used connectors, such as “OR”, “AND” or “NOT”.

You can find further information and guidance by reading our guide to searching, or by watching our video on searching The Gazette,
