Irish BMD registers and certificates

Irish birth and marriage certificates from as far back as 1864 are now available for free online and death certificates between 1878 and 1968 are also available. The records were made available by a joint initiative from the Department of Culture, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, in 2019.

Historical registers of marriages, births and deaths are available to view for free on the website https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

This covers births from 1864 to 1918, deaths from 1878 to 1968, and marriages from 1864 to 1943. The new additions include: deaths in 1967 and 1968, births in 1917 and 1918, and marriages from 1864 to 1869 and 1942 to 1943.

The General Register Office is working on updating even more records. Plans are in place to extend the digitization of death certificates by 14 years to 1864, while there are also plans to update almost 20 years of marriage records. Soon, marriages as far back as 1845 will be available to view online.
