Default Ordering a will

I want to order a will but not sure how to do it, I have looked on the National Archives but totally lost where to look on their website on how to order one. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

It is asking for probate date, issuing registry, & grant type, what would I imput do I have to tick the boxes for general searches, Standing searches. & the fee £10.00 Am I right, just want to make sure I am doing this right, sorry to be a pest!!

Probate date is 16 Feb 1956, grant type Probate, issuing registry should be shown in the notice that you got the date from (it would be the name of the place where probate was granted.) You don't need a standing search as that is for when you are waiting for probate to be granted on a recent will, and yes, you have to send them £10.
