A death certificate is an official record of a person’s passing and may be required for a range of legal, financial, and administrative purposes, including:

  • Settling estates and handling wills or inheritance matters
  • Notifying banks, insurance companies, or pension providers
  • Updating public records and government documents
  • Applying for probate or managing a deceased person’s affairs
  • Genealogy or family history research

Having an Irish death certificate ensures that you can complete necessary legal and administrative tasks with confidence.

Anyone can apply for an Irish death certificate if the record is public or if they have a valid reason to request it.

This may include family members, legal representatives, or individuals managing estate or administrative matters on behalf of the deceased.

All death certificates are issued by the General Register Office (GRO Ireland), the official authority responsible for the civil registration of births, marriages and deaths throughout Ireland.
