	If it's from the official site, there should be a padlock in the browser bar indicating that the site is secure

	Very safe. I sent mine and received the marriage record by post eight days later, costing 4 euros.

	When I ordered certificates from Roscommon, they accepted euros sent by "signed for" mail. That was a couple of years ago before they were able to accept card payments online. The certificates arrived within the week.

	I filled out the form and sent it off with euros by recorded delivery. Got the certificates back within a week in a large envelope, not folded. Was very pleased with the service. Phyll
