Non-Resident Wedding in Ireland Requirements

    I have a friend who is Irish but a non-resident who lives in the US and himself and his Irish-American fiancé want to get married in Ireland. Now according to the HSE website there is no residency requirement to get married in Ireland, but there's a 3 month waiting period before the marriage can take place. Since the commencement of Part 6 of the Civil Registration Act 2004 in November 2007, anyone notifying a Registrar of their intention to get married in Ireland must give 3 months notification in person to the Registrar and you need to make an appointment with the Registrar in order to give the notification. But if either of you are living abroad or are unable to attend a Registration Office due to serious illness, you should contact a Registrar to get permission to make your 3 month notification by post. If permission is granted, the Registrar will send you a form which you must complete and return. You will still have to make arrangements to meet the Registrar at least 5 days before you get married in order to make the declaration. This is required before a Marriage Registration Form can be issued. So that means they will have to travel over at least 5 days before the ceremony. Furthermore, on other websites it indicates you must reside in the registrars district in which the marriage is to take place for at least fifteen days prior to the wedding, but I cannot find reference to this on the HSE website or the citizensinformation.ie website on weddings.

    So obviously they want to plan this wedding for the summer and they have limited holidays and they wanted to have their honeymoon here after the wedding, but if some of these rules are right they may have to have the honeymoon first and leave right after the wedding. I wonder about this country, I know of so many Irish people during the boom that went to all kinds of exotic places for weddings and this is a great opportunity to help increase Irish tourism with tourist weddings for the Irish diaspora all over the world, but they have to make it so prohibitive.

    Can anyone help shed some light on the proper requirements?:)
