tips on marriage registration

jackhua

hi,

It might sound strange.
i am looking for some tips on how to get marriage register fast.
we are based in Dublin region and it seems so difficult to make an appoitment with the registration office.

anyone has good ideas on how to relatively speed up the process.:)

I'm not sure what you mean. There's no real way to 'speed up' the process. The law says you need to give at least 3 months notice to marry. You just need to keep trying the office. Eventually, you'll get through. Just be patient.

You can book online ...it's very easy.

From my own experience I booked ours in Dec 2012 for June 2014 only.coz.we have a lot of family flying in and whated to make sure I was defo getting date I wanted.

What i was told from Lombard House is that for getting married by the HSE there is only one time slot now in use and that is 3.30pm suits me but might not suit all. Found them very friendly and easy to get in touch with

Here is the details and opening hours of the office http://findaddress.citizensinformation.ie/service_finder/query.py?category=Civil+Registration+Offices&county=Dublin&town=* ,

Joyce House is the correct place you should be ringing. You will need to keep trying. It is hard to get them on the phone as they are very very busy. They will explain what dates are available for your ceremony and also be able to book you in for your paperwork meeting too.

We got an appointment fairly quick, managed to get through on the phone and they had a time for is 6 weeks later. You know you don't have to go to the Dublin office? You can go to the one in naas, or anywhere if you like, you don't have to register in the county you're getting married in.

just book outside of Dublin. we gave our 3 months notice and got married 3 months later.
