Registering Your Baby

 

It is the duty of the parent(s) to register the birth of their baby. This can be done during your stay at CUMH, Monday to Friday 9.30am to 1.00pm by strict appointment.

Alternatively, you can make an appointment at your nearest Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths office. To register, parent(s) must bring a valid photo ID, PPS numbers and an original civil (state) marriage certificate if married outside of Ireland and official translation of same, if applicable. If parents are married to each other, then only one parent need attend. If the mother is single and intends to put the father’s details on the certificate, both parents must attend. If the mother is divorced or separated, it is essential that you contact the office prior to registering. Once the mother has been discharged, parent(s) are not permitted to attend the Registration Office at CUMH.

Any queries please contact (021) 427 5126.
