I am having a bit of trouble as i want a birth certificate to prove parents of my Great Uncle Robert Stanley Andrews born in Dublin Ireland in May 1918. The form to send for it says i have to send 4 euro's, but living in Gloucestershire England we deal in pounds, so i can't see how to send for it.

Can you buy a Money Order for €4.00 ?
-
Can you not order online with a card:

I will go to the post office tomorrow and see if i can buy a money order for 4 euros and also look to buying it online, thanks

I’ve sent for quite a few photocopies lately of birth/marriage & death records from Dublin and they send me an email with a payment link so I can pay with a credit card....it’s really easy.
They take about a week to get back to you with a payment link, once you email the form back and then you get the photocopies about 7 days later.

A money order will probably cost more than the 4 euros you are trying to send. If you can’t or don’t want to pay by credit card, you can send them cash. Send them a 5 euro note. They won’t send any change but it’s cheaper than a money order.

I will probably have to do this, thanks for your reply, i found a way of doing it via email and it says they will write and ask for payment details, but i have heard nothing from them.

It takes about 7-8 days to hear back and then another 7-8 days to receive the record in my experience.

Ok right thanks

I had some change once from them , a sterling cheque for less than a £1. I wish I'd put a note on my application asking them to put the change in the charity pot. It must have cost more for them to raise the cheque than It was worth!

Thankyou for your reply, i will give it a little while later to see if they return my email, if they don't i will send it by post with a 5 euro note. once again thanks
