About Gazette bespoke editions

What is a Gazette bespoke edition?

A Gazette bespoke edition allows new and returning customers with Gazette accounts to create a personalised edition made up of the notices that matter to them most. This can then be downloaded as a PDF for saving or printing.

Each Gazette bespoke edition you create will feature:

  • notices you have selected
  • a title of your choice
  • your account name

What notices can be included in a Gazette bespoke edition?

Any notice which has its own unique ID, for example www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3703125, can be published in a Gazette bespoke edition.

This means that those who have received multiple honours in the King’s Birthday and New Year Honours lists, for example, can create a Gazette bespoke edition with their awards all in one place.

What cannot be included in a Gazette bespoke edition?

While any notice with its own unique ID can be published in a Gazette bespoke edition, there are some things that are published which cannot be included, such as:

  • supplements – whole supplements of The Gazette cannot be added to bespoke editions, including Ministry of Defence supplements, Gazette Extraordinary Editions and Company Law supplements – but these can be purchased as standard copies or as personalised commemorative editions from the Gazette shop
  • indexes – whole index editions of The Gazette cannot be added
  • some notices – prior to 1998, The Gazette did not publish notices individually with their own unique ID, therefore notices prior to this date cannot be added to bespoke editions

It should also be noted that Gazette bespoke editions cannot be made into a personalised commemorative edition and purchased from the Gazette shop.

How do you create a Gazette bespoke edition?
