You can request a transcript of a deed in two ways:

You can also go to the front desk. Make an appointment online.
Bring with you to the appointment:

A valid proof of identity
A means of payment (preferably debit card rather than cash)
You will receive the statement immediately.

Authorisation
You can also authorise another person to request a copy of a civil status record. The authorised representative can only come to the reception desk. And will need the following:

A valid identity document of themselves
A valid identity document of yours
A completed and signed authorisation form (pdf, 155kB)

The cost of the transcript is €15.70.

If it turns out afterwards that you do not need the statement or that you requested the wrong document, unfortunately we cannot refund the cost. Costs have then been incurred to look up your data.
