Registration of births
The birth of every child born in Ireland is required to be properly registered under Irish law. The importance of the accurate registration of a birth will become evident at several times in your child’s life, e.g. school enrolment, examinations and employment, and for other administrative and legal reasons.

This is the website of the General Register Office of Ireland. On the left-hand side of the homepage there is a very good search menu that lists all the topics on which you will find information on registering a birth, stillbirths, applying for a certificate, etc. This search facility makes this website straightforward and easy to use.
This is an example of an Irish Birth Certificate.
