Civil Status Letter

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea where we can get a Civil Status certificate from? We are getting married in Ireland and they want this certificate from Bahrain as we have lived here for a long time.

It is usually the Ministry of Justice in Bahrain that deals with these things.

However, I have not heard of them issuing civil status certificates for expats.  Instead they will notarise one from your Embassy in Bahrain after it has been duly attested by Ministry of foreign affairs Bahrain.
