Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	I have found various prices quoted, so I was wondering if anyone knew where the cheapest place is please. The prices I've seen seem very expensive compared with the £7 for England and Wales.
Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 161 Send Message	CarrieJ	Report	1 Sep 2009 20:37
	cheapest I found was the actual Groni, 10 or 11 Euros including P+P Groni 028 902 52000
	Researching: Just have a few Brick walls that need breaking down, some I dont think I will ever knock down, not even make a dent in but you never know whats round the corner :- )..... Yorkshire, London, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Wiltshire, Dorset, Surrey, Essex and Holland.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	Thanks - I'll look into that. The cheapest I'd found was 25 euros!!!

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	Janice What do you mean by Irish - Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland In the republic - I pay €4 for a photocopy. Not sure about Northern Ireland You can get Irish Certs from: Civil Registration Office Office of the Registrar General Roscommon Ireland Tel: +353 (0) 90 6632900 fax: +353 (0) 90 6632999 MB

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	It's Co Kerry I'm interested in but I live in the UK. I looked at GRONI but you don't get a reduction for knowing the reference if you order online, only if you go in person.

	Janice You want the Southern Ireland one.....in Roscommon. Photo copies are cheaper than purchasing a BDM Certificate printed on the Official Certificate paper. A Photo copy gives you exactly the same details and cost €6..about £8. No additional charge for postage..at least I never have been charged for postage! .

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	Just had a look and it says 6 euros for photocopy, 10 euros for proper cert, you can't order online and cheques have to be in euros, drawable on an Irish bank!!!!!!! They don't make things easy do they?

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	Janice If you have the details from: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start click on Europe and scroll down for Ireland 1845-1958 You can get Irish Certs from: Civil Registration Office Office of the Registrar General Roscommon Ireland Tel: +353 (0) 90 6632900 fax: +353 (0) 90 6632999 You need the persons name as per the family search site, district ie Cork plus the volume number and the page They don't take orders over the phone - I send a fax with my ccard details. The cost is €4 for a photocopy of the certificate. I do this regularly and find the service very efficient - they even phoned me today to double check a reference I'd given. MB

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	Hi Mummy Bear, Am I on the right site here? http://www.groireland.ie/about_us.htm I can't find where it says 4 euros - only 6 for a photocopy. (Off to work now; back this evening) Janice

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 845 Send Message	hi i faxed my copy order form to them but not heard anything back yet that was three weeks ago ,whats normal time scale before i phone them? thanks karen

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	They seem to be busy at the moment. I sent my last order (38 certs) on 10th August and I still haven't received it but they did phone me with a query yesterday and said they'd send today. Prior to that order on 5th August (12 certs) arrived 27th August. Earlier in the year ~3 weeks ish. I'd give them a quick call and ask them if they've received the fax (that's always my fear they've not received it and my finger nails are bitten to the quick waiting in the meantime) Or check your ccard online and see if they've taken payment - a sure sign the cert is on its way.

	Sorry....my mistake On each application form it says: "Photocopies of entries in the registers are also available at a cost of €6.00, (additional copies -€4.00). These contain exactly the same information as a Certificate but are only of use for research purposes."
Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 1,325 Send Message	Teresa With Irish Blood in Me Veins	Report	2 Sep 2009 11:48
	They do seem to be taking a long time at the moment in sending out certificates. I orderd 4 certificates about 4 weeks ago and not recieved them yet. In the past they have taken about 3-4 weeks. . .
Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	Mummy Bear	Report	2 Sep 2009 11:51
Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	Janice Give them a call as there's some uncertainty over the cost. I've only ever paid €4 each for a photocopy cert, which as Teresa mentions is identical to a non-photocopy copy and is great for family history research MB

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	Thanks everyone for your replies; very helpful. I'll investigate further and ring if I can't get consistent info off the website. Janice

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 715 Send Message	Karen I got mine today - so excited ;-). Which I faxed on 10th August. Check your ccard online and see if they've taken the money a sure sign the envelope is on its way. MB
