General Register Office

The General Register Office (GRO) is the central repository for records relating to births, stillbirths, adoptions, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths in Ireland.

We operate a research facility at Werburgh Street, Dublin 2, where members of the public, involved in family research, may search the indexes to the registers held by GRO and purchase photocopies of entries in the registers.

Certificates of birth, death, marriage, civil partnership or stillbirth can be obtained from the links below or from local civil register offices.
