Due to the Covid-19 Emergency, processing of applications for certificates received in the General Register Office will be delayed due to staff re-deployment to more urgent duties within the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
If your application is extremely urgent we will do our best accommodate you. You can contact us as per the contact details on this page.
Please be assured that your application will be processed as soon as we are in a position to do so.
Certificates of birth, death, marriage and civil partnership can be obtained from the General Register Office or from your local civil register offices.
You can find a list of local civil register offices here.
Certificates of birth, death, marriage, civil partnership and stillbirth can be obtained from the General Register Office. Multilingual Standard Forms (MSF) can be obtained when ordering certificates from the General Register Office only, and can be used when presenting certificates to authorities in an EU member state. MSFs should accompany certificates to avoid translation requirements.
