Birth Certificate for Ireland 🇮🇪

Couples preparing to marry in Ireland routinely need an apostille-ready Birth Certificate, Thai birth certificate; reissue at original district office if lost.
Once obtained from District office of birth registration / DOPA, the document is translated into English, legalised at MFA, and certified by สถานทูตไอร์แลนด์ประจำประเทศไทย for use at the HSE Civil Registration Service.
End-to-end accountability: if a document is rejected because of our error we redo it free of charge and absorb the additional government fees.
