Birth Cert for job.......

Cadet?

Not really sure if this is the right place to put this........but sure.......


I need to get an original long form copy of my Birth Certificate for a job interview I have next week. Does anyone have any info on how I'd go about doing this and how long it will take etc.?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Go to your local Births, Deaths, Marriages registration office and join the queue.

If you are in Dublin, there's one in Lombard Street.

Lombard St.....great.

Bring PPS and passport I presume?

if you were born in dublin then you can pick it up in the birth and death registars ofices on tara street in city centre. its a big red building but i cant remember the number. it used to be €5.70 for your birth cert or about 90c if it was for social welfare purposes. you will have to check how much they cost now becuase that was a couple of years ago.

if it is still the same, you have to go down early in the morning or else you end up quing all day.

before you do any of that though, ask your folks. im sure they have acopy of it.

Lombard Street is not off Tara Street. It runs between Pearse Street and City Quay.

OP - you'll get the details that you need to have with you here: https://www.birthsdeathsmarriages.ie/content/bdmonline/orders.nsf/order/1032ee68ff17bf7580257410007b50ee?open&step=1&

my apologies again, it is a full 2 mintute walk from tara street. i am sorry for that. wishbone might post a link to a local taxi comapny or limosine service to take you the extra distance. cheap ryanair flights maybe???

i see they have increased the price to €35 for a long form birth cert. it was less that €6 only 2 or 3 years ago cos i had to get one for my kid. man they have really upped the price.

That link I provided is a private company who do the running for you. It's much cheaper to go to the office in person. I can't remember the price but I'm sure it was less than a tenner.

I agree that it is nearby but by using the term "off" you implied that Lombard Street intersected with Tara Street. It doesn't and that is all I was saying!

i was wondering about that. there was no way they cold justify increasing it from under a tenner up to €35. that would be crazy.

no worries. it was a few years since i have been down there but tara street was sticking in my mind for some reason. at leat the OP knows where he is going now anyway.

had to get a long-form birth cert for my younger sister for her passport recently. Barely cost me anything afaik - a few euro i think.

it used to be that you had to actually write to the hospital that you were born in. it's great to now be able to get it electronically from any office in the country.

"it used to be that you had to actually write to the hospital that you were born in." really? That must have been a long long time ago.

In Dublin in my life time it has always been Hawkins House for birtcerts, deathcerts etc

Not really. It was a trick used by the likes of the general and other scumbags. They'd look up the register of deaths for babies who died soon after being born and send off an application for their birth cert. There being no link being the record of births and the record of deaths, a good number of "valid" passports were obtained this way.

Seamus -thanks for the reply.

I didn't even know that was possible!

Greetings, would you happen to know where would I look for the offices in Wicklow to get a copy of long birth cert.
Would save me the hassle of driving in to Dublin and parking for the day.

All state agencies do ask for a birth cert before interview.

Interview for an army cadetship- thought the name might have been a hint!

No surprise they want a birth cert.

Through the magic of the electrical interweb, you can buy one here:

At horribly inflated prices. €30+ euro is a fair bit over the odds, but if you can't be arsed to queue you deserve everything you get.

Note this is not a state run website.
