I’m UK citizen & just moved to Eire where I’ll be marrying my Irish fiancee.Can I swear my affadvit in Ireland?

Moved from the UK in January, prior to which I’ve always lived in UK.My fiancee has also spent the last 9 years in UK. If possible, to avoid cost, I’d prefer to obtain the affidavits in Ireland.

Affidavits for what? Something to do with getting married? I don’t think that here in Ireland an affidavit has anything to do with marriage, its to do with legal proceedings in the courts. I’m confused.

This may not be the answer to your question but to get married here, you need to contact a registration office and give notice of your intention to marry at least 3 months in advance of the wedding. The fee is 150 euro for this.

  2. If it relates to something in Irish law and/or is to be presented to Irish authorities then yes. However, if it is to be presented to a foreign authority, it depends on the authority but, in general, no.

    (Also, if you use the name "Eire" in Ireland when speaking English, you should expect to be frequently corrected. It is the name of the State, but only in Irish (the language). Saying "I live in Eire", instead of "I live in Ireland", is the same as saying "I live in Deutschland" instead of saying "I live in Germany". It’s an incorrect mixture of languages, and the likelihood of being picked up on it is made even greater by the fact that the name has been traditionally used in a derogatory way by some anti-Irish elements in the British media.)
