If you want to apply for an Irish passport, you’ll know you the challenges in locating the documents you need to support your application.
Some documents in Ireland are difficult to find and this can cause frustration, especially if it means your application can’t be submitted.
Whilst it is likely that you have already tried to find the documents yourself, we’ll run through what you can do and then we’ll talk about how we can help.
There are only two ways for you to find the documents unless you are prepared to travel to Ireland and search for them yourself.
Family and Friends: Ask family members, especially older relatives, if they have any relevant documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or old passports.
Genealogy Websites: Utilise online genealogy websites like Ancestry or FindMyPast to search for them.
Often these methods draw a blank and leave you not knowing how to move forward.
We can help.
We have access to systems and tools to ensure we can find difficult to find documents and if that fails, we have a team in Ireland who find them.
If you asked us to find any Irish documents for you, you’d be using a company that has a 90% success rate.
Mr Williams used us back in October 2024 – I needed to Find my mother’s Irish birth certificate & other details she was born in Ireland in the early 1940s so that I can apply for Irish citizenship. She has been dead for many years & i would never have found out all the required documents needed to progress my application. Relative Connections did a fantastic job in finding all this for me. A Big thank you must go to Jess who kept me updated with the ongoing process on a regular basis! I would recommend Relative Connections to anybody who were very thorough & much quicker than I anticipated. Very Happy indeed.
