Incorrect birth registration payment
In 2022, the Government implemented a once-off payment of €3,000 to individuals whose incorrect birth registration was confirmed by or to Tusla.
The payment was intended as a contribution towards costs related to an incorrect birth registration such as DNA testing or legal fees.
This payment is exempt from Income Tax and Universal Social Charge (USC).
