No need to bring the baby/babies with you, not sure about both parents going? I know when we went the two of us had to sign so I'm not sure.

If the mother & father are married then either one can go, and as far as i know no need to bring the babies

thanks for the quick replies.
visiting with kids during weekdays means taking off from work so this will be very helpful in our situation with twin newborn n toddler under 2.

If married only one parent needs to go.
if unmarried both need to go if the father is being named on the birth cert.
Either way don't forget the registration forms, photo I.D and 20 euro per birth cert.

Children don't need to go, they have all the details on screen forwarded by the maternity hospital.

Also, I presume you were married in Ireland?
If not, you need copy of marriage cert I think.

The maternity hospital will give you one, if not,then you'll get it in the office when registering.

As was already mentioned bring the marriage certificate as you were married outside the R.O.I as you stated.

Was there some unusual event at the birth that meant they were not able to register as normal in the hospital? Or is that just a Cork service that's not provided in Dublin?

Im my own case all of my kids were registered at the Cork office and not the hospital.

When herself was in labour the passports were the last things on our mind.

It is common practice in Limerick as well.

They don't do registrations in my local maternity hospital at all.

That's what I meant. I know a girl who had a baby in Limerick and said she registered the child in the local office, she never said the reasons for it though.

We had to go to separate office as well. Husband went on his own.

When I had my first you could register in CUMH but only on certain days (think it was Tuesday to Friday but I could be wrong) our stay didn't fall within those days so himself went and registered the following week in Cork
This time around I am hoping to get baby registered in the hospital if the days fall right (just have to agree on a name first!)

Thanks all. registration done.
Just needed a photo id, pps no and marriage cert.
they have all the details in their computer sent by the hospital and i did not have to fill any form etc.
