You can buy an Irish Birth, Death and Marriage Certificate online at www.birthsdeathsmarriages.ie (for events registered in Ireland ONLY). From our official secure payment site we will dispatch your newly registered or replacement certificates directly to your home or work place within a maximum of 1 - 2 Working days from acceptance of your request*. The daily cut-off time is 9a.m. for the processing of requests. Please also note that Births, Deaths that have occurred since 2005 MUST be registered in person by a family member at a Civil Registration Office BEFORE any certs can be ordered online. All Long Form Certificates that we provide carry the official Government "HARP" symbol. Events registered after 2005 are now printed out in a new format which is a Light Green A4 Page with an image of a harp in the centre (as opposed to the older white version in landscape form).
We have endeavoured to make our website as user friendly as possible and was awarded by the Irish Internet Association for our innovative efforts. On filling information for the certificate you require, please provide as much information as possible to allow us continue with our award winning speedy service.
BIRTH CERTIFICATES:
The birth of a child should be registered no later than three months afther their birth by a parent (the hospital does not officially register the birth - it is the sole responsibility of the parent/s to do this) as this is a legal requirement within Ireland. If the parents of a child are not married to each other then there is no presumption in law as to who is the father of the child unless the father's name is specifically mentioned on the birth certificate.
DEATH CERTIFICATES:
N.B. Remember, you can only order Death Certificates online if the death has been registered by a family member. If you don't know if a death has been registered, ask the next of kin who would more than likely be responsible for carrying out this task. A Hospice, Hospital or Nursing Home does not automatically register a death so if a death is a recent event, enquire from the place where it occurred as to who is given the certification of death documentation to allow the family member to be able to go and physically register the death at a Civil Registration Office.
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES:
You can request/apply/order/purchase Marriage certs through this website for both Church and Registrar services which have occurred in the Republic of Ireland ONLY. For women who have been married a second time, it is imperative that you provide both your maiden name AND previous married name when applying for a Marriage Certificate and advise us in the "Comments Section" of any such information.
Only Express or EMS post can be tracked / traced. Standard postal requests while normally are delivered within 2 working days, once the post has been dispatched from our office, are the sole responsibility of An Post. As we have no means of following up on any standard mail delivery requests, we therefore recommend that you select the Express or EMS Delivery option.
Should you prefer to make a telephone order or enquiry, our office landline number is +353 1 801 33 33. Please feel free to ask for Patricia McDermott, our Customer Services Manager who will be happy to assist you. We again recommend that you read our site Terms & Conditions along with our "Cost & Payment" links which can be found just above where you apply for Certificates and at the bottom of the HOME PAGE..
