Birth registration?

the watchman

Just wondering. I know that parents usually at some point register a new born child with the State but does the hospital make any sort of registration with the State of that birth at the time of delivery?

Thanks for reading.

Some hospitals get you to full out a pre-registration form before you are discharged, and send it to the registrar. It shortens the process when you then go to register your baby within 3 months of birth.

With all mine i filled out the forms in the hospital and then waited for the letter to say i could now register my child. It was nearly 3 months with my 3rd but only a month with the last wee lad.. he's just coming up on 3 months now Time on the birth was registered on the birth cert for the last 2 the others were the old form of cert.

Holles street send certain info from mothers registration details to the registrar usually within 14 days of the birth.
I just had to call the registrars office to make sure they had gotten the details and then went in to finish the registration.
So I suppose it's like there's a partial registration done... Details like my name, address, DOB, place and time of birth of baby, were all already on the system. Although he was "baby liliq" whereas we were giving him my partners surname.

Different hospitals do it differently, in Galway, the register actually has an office on the maternity ward, and have the option of registering before you leave hospital, we did this with all 3 of ours.

The birth is fully registered in Holles St only if the parents are married. If unmarried you need to go in to register. I think most other hospitals are the same.

I was pretty sure none of the hospitals do registrations anymore.

Here is the official info - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/birth_family_relationships/after_your_baby_is_born/registering_birth_your_baby.html

Yeah in drogheda the info is put into the system and its sent to the registrar... they then issue you an invitation to register the baby... if only one parent turns up only one signature goes on the cert, if not married the dad needs to bring in ID and if you were married in the location where you are registering the baby you won't need to bring a marriage cert.. otherwise you bring it..its pretty straightforward;)

Thank you for link. I note that in the second sentence it says that registration is a legal requirement in Ireland.
Assuming that all statute laws are available on line now, by any chance does anyone reading have a link to that written law so that I can have a look at it. Thanks for your help.

Well, here's the link to the Civil Registration Act 2004 - http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2004/en/act/pub/0003/index.html

Would that be a civil registation act?
There's a link on the citizensinformation link to a civil registration act, but i'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for

Edit: Just got in there before me January

Thank you for the link. Seems there is a 'statute' law requiring registration. I thought that it may be optional.
I'm just curious about the claims I've heard that the governments uses these registrations (us) as some sort of collateral bond to secure money/loans from the world banks etc. Seems it might be true according to these:
