Help with I.D

Stench Blossoms

Right well heres the case.. Both my student i.d and my garda id were robbed awhile ago.

I lost my passport the other day (it was out of date) and i can't find my birthcert.

So how the hell am i going to get any id?

Where do I go to get a copy of my birthcert?

Any help much appreciated!

Who said that?

The offices to get a birthcert are on Townsend street, just down from Pearse Street train station. Just fill out a form, I think its about €8.50 for one.

"If you have lost your birth certificate you have to contact the mother and baby unit at the hospital you were born at. You also have to pay for these replacements but it isn't alot. This is how it is in the u.k anyway. You can also check up births deaths and marriages that do the same thing over the internet.Thats all i know in the u.k anyway."

Oh yeah, Google is your friend.

Walk into the GPO in Dublin, and ask one for one.

Here's how: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2844378

sorry didnt see that thread.

Do I only need my birthcert to get a new passport? (well apart from pics etc)

How do I know who you are?



Seriously though, try this...(near Pearse Street but not quite...)

The Superintendent Registrar's Office,
Ground Floor,
Joyce House,
8-11 Lombard Street East,
Dublin 2.

To get your first passport, you do. To renew one, no. (So long as you have the old one).

So I can get it in either the GPO or the place near Pearse St?

Think i'l go to the GPO since i know exactly where that is.

I dont have my old passport anyway because its seemed to disappear out of my bag last week

digitally-yours

Well, i lost my passport over a year ago now, i went to my local garda station right away as it's easy for them things to be used in forgeries.

They will take your details from you and ask stuff like how long is it missing.. etc.

To get a new birth cert, you have seen that other thread, but those offices in Lombard St. aint that far down Pearse St. so don't worry.

As for getting more I.D. , i'd recommend one of the garda / national ID cards , less than 7 euro i think.. can't remember how much it cost me to get one.

P.S. report that passport right away if u havent already... too many chancers about nowadays.

Yeh i had a garda id but it was robbed..

I always seem to get my id robbed. I must hav a very average face!

My only problem at this moment is i have nothing other than a bank statement showing who I am.

Will i get a new passport with just a birthcert?

You can get anyones birth cert once you know

1 Their and their parents names
2 date of birth
3 location of birth

technically its a public record so anyone a can get anyone else's birth cert. In reguards the passport you need to go to your local guarda station and get them to endorse your photographs and sign the application form. I have to admit I have never heard of the GPO offering birth certs but I could be wrong

Stench Blossoms

so i could go to get just say my neighbours birthcert who is 21 and use it as my own? that seems a bit stupid to me

ever hear the expression " the lawis an ass"?

When they catch up with you (lets say your neighbour already has a passport and the two photos don't mathc), it could be interesting. I'm talking jail time.

Go to your local Garda station. Report your losses. Ask for a replacement Garda ID (free?). Fill in the form to get a replacement passport, get the photos signed off and pay the fee.

Also tell your college (will you need the ID for anything?).

This is a very easy country to obtain a passport under the name of someone else.

OLDYELLAR

to get the passport , ya need the 2 photos of yerself signed by the guards , and stamped by em , so it wouldnt be that easy get a passport in someone elses name.

Heres the info:

Giving a good sob story will speed them up in reissuing it to you....

WexCan

just to let ya know it's the GRO not the GPO

AFAIK you can only get your Birth Cert from there if you were born in the Dublin area.

Hmm im not too sure but the afaik gro is a national database so even if she wasnt born in dub she might be able to still get one. Now i'm not 100% on that but if my understaning of that system is right then its possible.

All you hafta do is go to office just off pearse st. Not sure of the name, but walk down pearse st from the garda station and take the second side street to the left.

All the info you need is your name, dob and ur mams maden name or some other info from the Birth Cert. They have scanned copies of all Birth Certs in the country and they give it to ya there and then.

Very straight forward. I had to do it last year

Yup, they have all birth certs. I wasn't born in dublin and it made no difference. its a national database.

It costs about... hmmmm... can't remember but its less than a tenner and it takes about 5mins of a wait.
