Civil Registration (Amendment) (Domestic Registration of Death Records) Bill 2012

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Irish residents who die abroad would be allowed to have their deaths recorded in Ireland, even where the country of death already issues its own certificate. This would help families obtain an Irish death certificate and deal more easily with estates and probate in Ireland, avoiding repeated contact with foreign authorities. Applications would generally need to be made within six months, with a longer period for deaths in the previous ten years; fees could be charged.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to provide for the registration in the State's vital record registration system of resident citizens' deaths that occur outside the State
