Civil Registration Service offices reopen to the public

The office reopened Friday, October 1

The public offices of the Civil Registration Service has reopened to members of the public who want to register births or deaths, or give notice of intention to marry.

The office reopened Friday, October 1, but with some restrictions likely to continue.

The facility to register births and deaths by post or by sending the required documentation by email will cease.  This will not affect applications posted or emailed before October 1.

Arrangements for marriage notifications received by post and/or email after September 30th 2021 and postmarked/emailed on or before September 30th 2021 can be accepted as the commencement of the 3 months’ notice period.

Marriage Notification Appointments postmarked/emailed dated after September 30 cannot be accepted however, where the three months’ notice begins on the day that the couple attend in person at their pre-booked appointment to serve notice of intention to marry.

If you are unable through illness to attend in person or are resident abroad you can request a postal notification form from a registrar if you want to serve notice after September 30.
