How can I order my birth certificate online?

Whatever your reason for applying online, we can obtain your legal birth certificate for you quickly and efficiently. Fill out the form, supply us with as much information as possible along with your postal address, and we will do the rest.
What information do I need to replace my birth certificate?
There are four pieces of information required: your surname at birth, your first name(s), your date of birth, and your mother's surname at the time of your birth. Extra details such as the hospital you were born at, your sex assigned at birth, and your father's details help, but are not required.
How long does it take?
If you need your replacement birth certificate faster than the usual 15–28 day timeframe, we are renowned for our ability to process and dispatch a new replacement certificate the same day we receive your application.
What does it cost?
Our online service for replacement birth certificates costs €37 including shipping and handling. Certificates are processed the next day.
Other ways to replace a certificate
You can also apply in person, by post, by phone, or by email via the General Register Office — all of these routes typically take 15–28 days and cost €20 plus postage. If you place your order with us before 12pm on a weekday, your certificate should be with you the next working day.
