Best Findmypast Discount Codes

Findmypast offers a 50% off discount code for an annual subscription, which is the best deal available to you if you have a code to use. The code cuts the price of an annual plan in half, saving you far more than the public discounts and free collections on offer.

If you don't have the discount code, your options depend on what you're subscribing to and whether you're a new or existing customer.

New customers starting from scratch. Try the 7-day free trial first to explore what Findmypast has to offer, with no payment required. After the trial ends, the public deals kick in. For an annual subscription, the up to 50% off deal is the best saving available to you without a code. For a monthly plan, you can save up to 26% off instead.

Existing customers renewing an annual subscription. If you've had a 12-month subscription before, you're eligible for a 15% loyalty discount when you renew, which beats the general public offers.

Customers looking for specific records without a full subscription. Findmypast gives you free access to selected Irish parish records, the 1881 England, Wales and Scotland census, and a selection of British and Irish newspapers. These are worth checking first if you know exactly which collections you need; if the records you want are listed as free, you can search them at no cost.

Customers with a monthly subscription. The 14% off pro subscriptions deal applies to your plan, or you can take the up to 26% monthly plan discount instead. Compare the two: which leaves you with the lower total is the one to use.

In the 12 months to November 2026, the largest code we recorded for Findmypast was 50% off in November, so the discount code at the top of this page is among the biggest we've seen for this brand. Public percentage deals have typically been smaller in that period, so if you have the code, it's the clear choice for an annual subscription.

To pick between the offers that apply to your basket, work out what you'd pay under each one and take whichever leaves the lower total.

Before choosing a Findmypast promo code, read the offer terms and match them to the subscription you intend to buy. Follow the redemption instructions, then check the amount due before completing payment. Compare the total subscription charge rather than relying only on a monthly equivalent shown for an annual plan.

• Start with free records. Selected Irish parish records, British and Irish newspapers, and travel and migration records are available without a paid subscription. Check these before paying for broader access.
• Use a free trial with a plan. Decide which relatives or collections you want to research first. A paid subscription follows the trial, so check the ongoing price and renewal arrangements before signing up.
• Compare subscription promotions. Look at the records included as well as the saving. A discounted plan is only useful if it covers the collections you need.
• Check annual renewal savings. Eligible annual subscribers can receive a loyalty discount when renewing for another annual term. Review your renewal details before buying a separate subscription.

Findmypast is a digital service, so there is no physical delivery or postage charge. The Ireland subscriptions page lists card payments, PayPal and Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Consumer subscription purchases have a 14-day cooling-off period, but conditions apply, including whether you have begun accessing records. Do not assume that a subscription remains refundable once you start using it.

After the cooling-off period, refunds are generally unavailable for unwanted subscription time. You can cancel automatic renewal to prevent another subscription term, but this is different from receiving a refund for the time already purchased. Review the renewal arrangements when choosing a plan, especially after a free trial. Subscriptions bought through the app have different terms.

Selected Irish parish records, including Irish Roman Catholic baptism records, are free to access at Findmypast. These give you a starting point before deciding whether a subscription would help with the next stage of your research. Free access applies to selected collections, not the entire Irish record range.

If your research extends beyond Ireland, the free collections also include the 1881 England, Wales and Scotland census, plus selected travel and migration records. Free British and Irish newspaper collections provide another place to look.

Use the free collections to narrow down what you need next, then compare subscription coverage with pay-as-you-go access. This helps you choose around the records you want rather than the size of an advertised discount.
