How do I gain access to personnel records of an ancestor or relative who served in the Defence Forces or National Army? Personnel records of soldiers that are deceased are currently available to direct next of kin only. In exceptional circumstances, direct next of kin may give permission to a third party researcher to proceed with an enquiry on their behalf. Military Archives requires a signed letter of application for personnel records along with copies of the birth certificate(s) of the applicant to establish their relationship to personnel of interest. For example: the son or daughter would need to send a copy (either scanned and attached on an email, or a photocopy posted to us) of the long version of their birth certificate, while a grandson or granddaughter would need, in addition, a signed note of permission to view the file from the next of kin. If the direct next of kin has died, then the grandson or granddaughter would need to send on copies of both their own birth certificate and the birth certificate of their father or mother, to show their relationship to the soldier over the two generations. The OIC Military Archives may request a death certificate for the subject and/or a sworn affidavit stating the next of kin relationship. If you are direct next of kin, you should apply to see your ancestors records as follows: 1. If the subject left the Defence Forces less than thirty years ago: A. For officers (i.e. Lieutenants, Captains, Commandants etc.) write to: OIC Commissioned Officers Management Office DFHQ, Station Rd, Newbridge, Co. Kildare. B. For enlisted personnel (i.e. Privates, Corporals, Sergeants etc.) write to: OIC Enlisted Personnel Management Office, DFHQ, Station Rd, Newbridge, Co. Kildare. 2. If the subject left the Defence Forces more than thirty years ago: For officers (i.e. Lieutenants, Captains, Commandants etc.) and for enlisted personnel (i.e. privates, corporals, sergeants etc.)write directly to OIC Military Archives, as per the contact address. Please include details such as service number and rank (if known), date of birth and home address(es) of personnel during their service).
