Wonder if someone could please help
« on: Wednesday 28 November 18 10:27 GMT (UK) »
I am having a bit of trouble as i want a birth certificate to prove parents of my Great Uncle Robert Stanley Andrews born in Dublin Ireland in  May 1918. The form to send for it says i have to send 4 euro's, but living in Gloucestershire England we deal in pounds, so i can't see how to send for it.

Can you buy a Money Order for €4.00  ?

I’ve sent for quite a few photocopies lately of birth/marriage & death records from Dublin and they send me an email with a payment link so I can pay with a credit card....it’s really easy. 

They take about a week to get back to you with a payment link, once you email the form back and then you get the photocopies about 7 days later.

A money order will probably cost more than the 4 euros you are trying to send. If you can’t or don’t want to pay by credit card, you can send them cash. Send them a 5 euro note. They won’t send any change but it’s cheaper than a money order.

I will probably have to do this, thanks for your reply, i found a way of doing it via email and it says they will write and ask for payment details, but i have heard nothing from them.

It takes about 7-8 days to hear back and then another 7-8 days to receive the record in my experience.
