Was in there today
All we needed was out Birth certs (if you can't find your its €10 for a new one) and passports. You need the name of the priest (if religious) and the address of the church. They did the rest. EASY

Bear in mind that each registrars office can have slightly different requirements so get them to confirm. I had 2 appointments booked, one in dublin and one in wicklow (long story) and they each gave me slightly different requirements. e.g one wanted proof of address, the other didn't.

We went Naas office and they didn't need proof of address. We are renting and they even told us we can change our address on the day of the wedding on the MRF. All you need to do is have everyone in the bridal party and the priest initial the form.

I think some offices try to make these things seem complicated.

Hi,
did you have to show a passport? I only have a driving lisence and don't want to get a passport as will not be travelling anywhere I'd be needing one for the foreseeable future and the expence of it, when I can't afford to travel is too much. I am getting quite worried!
