Can anyone tell me is it possible to send for a death certificate for someone that died in Ireland (county Cork) when you are living in England or Wales? If so where do I send off to, and how much will it cost? Perhaps the Greneral Registration Office would be able to help me? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.

Hi Paul

I hope this information will be helpful to you. If you contact the General Register Office you can get a death certificate it will cost 10euros thats what it cost me a few weeks ago for a birth certificate. e mail www.groireland.ie.

This is also their address GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE
GOVERNMENT OFFICES
CONVENT ROAD
ROSCOMMON iRELAND.

Many thanks for your help. How does 10 euros convert to £s just now, and how do you pay? Sorry, I am not very up on payments when it comes to converting to other currencies etc. Once again, many thanks.

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:

[There are also Carlow, Cork & Kerry OPRs there too]

If you pay by credit card, your bank will do the currency conversion for you, and pay the bill in euros and charge you in pounds (at a mildly unfavourable exchange rate). If you make a purchase abroad, and then return the item and get a credit card refund, you'll see the two amounts differ - until you call the card company up and moan at them.

I got euros from the Post Office and sent the request by recorded delivery. Unfortunately my P O doesn't do 10 euros so I sent for 2 certs for 20 euros.
