You asked
What access do you have to the RON Database hosted by the Passport Office / GRO?
Do you download any information from the database?
We said
I can confirm the Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not have any access to the Registration Online (RON) system.
I can also confirm ONS does not download any information from RON; rather under Section 42 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 the Registrar General for England and Wales discloses to ONS on a daily basis the following registrations recorded on RON by the Local Registration Service
births; marriages; deaths; stillbirths; civil partnerships.
