Police Records

Available. Police records will no longer be called "Police Certificates of Character." The title of the certificate will read "Police Certificate." Under this title appears a box, which states "This certificate is issued solely for the information of the U.S.A. Consular authorities.

Residents of the Republic of Ireland may apply for a "Police Certificate" through the local Garda Station in which they reside. Derogatory information is usually listed on the back of the form. To be valid, a district stamp (usually in the lower left hand corner), identifies the issuing Garda Station, signed by the District Superintendent, or his or her deputy.

Persons residing outside of Ireland can apply for the "Police Certificate" by writing the Garda Office in the district of their former residence. The applicant should furnish her or her full name, date and place of birth, and place and period of all residences in the Republic of Ireland, including full addresses. The request should be accompanied by a birth certificate.

Police Certificates will be issued directly to the applicant from the local Garda Station, not Garda Headquarters and the Guarda Headquarters stamp will no long appear on the Police Certificate.

You go to the station, tell them what you need, and THEY will tell you what is required.

My husband says: Take a COPY of your birth cert, and the original, and your passport. Make sure you are very clear about what you need and you should probably take a print out of the blurb payxiba posted above. His garda station didn't have a clue, he had to ask 3-4 people to finally get what he wanted. They will keep the copy of the birth cert but give it back to you later. It took 2-3 weeks for his to be mailed back to him.
