Assuming you are talking about a replacement certificate, the RYA site gives the contact, cost etc.  I found it a very easy process, even including a name change (For the boat, not me).

his own name, issued by the Royal Yachting Association, with a current

(b) Other spars, sails, centreboards or other gear may be used and
alterations may be made to any part of the boat without invalidating the

compliance with the class rules, and
(iii) the band measurements are unaltered, and
(iv) only sails which have been measured shall be used.

(i) For new or re-measured boats a measurement form completed
as appropriate and signed by an RYA Approved Merlin-Rocket

(ii) On change of ownership, by forwarding the old certificate with a
current buoyancy endorsement together with the registration fee
