Link: Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

Email is not a secure way to send your credit card details.

Think the idea is to e mail the request than phone the card details, rather than fax the request phone the card and get the results by e mail or post.

Makes sense to just use phone and email.

In general they won't accept an incoming e-mail order for a photocopy. You could try phoning them and see if they'll let you pay by credit card over the phone. (I have no experience of trying this with GRO Roscommon , but I do know that people do routinely do pay over the phone when ordering certificates from GRONI in Belfast, even from overseas).

I posed the question as the FAX machine wasn't answering, but now I have succeeded by using a program called PAMFAX I have completed this process before successfully, the only down side is that you need to scan your document before sending it as opposed to feeding it into a dedicated FAX machine, it cost me 79p UK. You need to add credit to begin, I haven't used this for over a year and my credit was e activated instantly. I expect they might accept a phone call after you send your request if you are particularly sensitive about card details, but probably no less secure than sending it in the international post, or you could request they call you.

Could any one advise me the best place to get a copy of a marriage cert for the 1860s for county cork? I have never ordered before, so is it cheaper to get it emailed rather than the post? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A research Cert is €4 by e mail or post and all certs are ordered from the GRO in Roscommon by post or fax.
I don't think the online ordering service does Research Certs so would be alot more expensive.

The very first post on this thread explains it all very well except the bit about including you e mail if you want to receive it that way. (That wasn't available at the time that post was made).

Great, I'll do that! Thanks for the help!

Tigerella - I have been faxing (using pamfax) from USA to GRO in Roscommon on several occasions. The faxes cost me .13 cents and i usually get an email back from the GRO in a few days with the cert attached. The key is to know the date (of BM or D) region, volume, and page number for them to do a successful match. I recently sent them a one page fax with several death records (same name different Vol/Pages) listed on the form and they responded, again, within a few days. Hope this helps.
