Ok. I went to the press and got out my blue accordian type folder and am now looking at 5 birth certs.
4 are original and 1 is a copy that was got for social welfare.

Well she probably lost it and got another copy which would explain why it says copy

A few years ago my son needed his birth cert. We didn't have the time to chase it up at the time so we got an online company to do it for us.

They were excellent - fast and reliable. We got the cert in about 2 days. It didn't cost much more than ordering the cert from where ever you order it from, Dublin I guess.

The cert didn't have "copy" written on it. My son was born in Ireland btw.

There is no original birth cert. An application is made to register a birth. An entry is then ,made in the Register of Births. A copy of the entry is then issued as a certificate of birth.

It's in a register. The "original" cert from the register was given to the person who registered the birth.

And you were ripped off in the process if it wasn't the official HSE site... there's another site that charges twice as much as the HSE site... ****ing cowboys.

There is NO original cert. You can only get copies of your birth cert. The original cert is on a big computer somewhere in Roscommon.

The original for most boardsies is a hand written entry in a book now held in the General Registers Office in Roscommon. Before all these entries were copied to computerused files you had to go back to the health centre wherever you were born and the register would hand write you a "copy" of that entry.
Now it doesn't matter where you were born you can go to any health center where a registrar sits and he or she will print you off a copy of the details in the entry. €20.

/Off to the press again

New one is an A4 printed sheet. No stamps on it. Just the usual..harp on the top and spaces for parents to sign at the bottom.

The original is handwritten in pen, mine is anyway. It's in a poster tube on my shelf. Dunno about yours, maybe the sewing box that's also a biscuit tin?

cena · 06-09-2014 11:38PM

It must be a big press to keep this big computer in so.

No. Each mammy has a press so they don't clutter up Roscommon.
