ORDERING CERTIFICATES
GRO ROSCOMMON
If the event occurred in what is now the Republic of Ireland, you can't view the certificates on-line and you need to order a photocopy of the certificate from GRO Roscommon for €4.
http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspxYou have to download and print off the form. Then either post or fax it back to them. You can’t e-mail it to them. However if you want them to e-mail the cert to back to you, they will do that, so tick the relevant box.
Put the reference details on the form (anywhere). Don’t worry about leaving some boxes blank. As long as GRO have the location, name(s), year, quarter (where there is one), volume and page number they should find it.
GRONI
If the event occurred in what is now Northern Ireland (Counties Armagh, Antrim, Derry/Londonderry, Down, Fermanagh & Tyrone), you can view the certificates on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:
