Annulment register?

marsian

Hi,
where would someone be able to get a copy of a past state annulment?
Or a annulment decree?
Would the R.S.O. hold that information, or would one have to go to the courts where annulment was received?

Thanks.

It's a court order; you'd have to go to the records court that made the order. So far as I know annulments are not registered with the General Register Office.

If by "annulment decree" you mean a Catholic church tribunal decree, then the records would be kept by the tribunal. But they would treat them as confidential; unless you are one of the spouses in the annulment proceedings it's unlikely that they would give you a copy of the decree, or any other information about the case.

Ok, thank you.
After thinking about it, I remember we were in Dublin, on the Liffey, as I found out now this has to be the Four Courts.
I have the names, date;
can just anyone ask for a copy of the court order, or do they need to be of legal profession?
The costs?

Thank you.
