View answerAfter being closed for four months due to COVID-19 restrictions, Registration Offices outside of Dublin, which are operated by An Garda Síochána, are reopening on a phased basis, in line with the Government Roadmap. Email addresses for each Registration Office are provided for queries and the arranging of appointments. Further information on the contact details and proposed dates of reopening for all Registration Offices outside of Dublin is available on the website of An Garda Síochána at:
