Are there any fees and charges?

There is no charge made to visitors carrying out their own personal research in PRONI.
There are charges for the copying and certification of documents. If you require copies to be posted to you, there will be an additional charge for postage and packaging. Please note that some documents cannot be copied, usually on copyright or preservation grounds.
PRONI also offers a limited search service, where a fee is payable per search conducted (£13.30 per search/hour or part thereof).
A full scale of fees payable for the inspection, search and copying of certain public records and for the handling and certification of such copies is available under the Public Use of the Records (Management and Fees) Rules (Northern Ireland) 1996
