I checked the Irish Passport Twitter feed, and saw this:UncleBud wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 9:10 pmThe Irish passport tracking states that it's still waiting for my documentation.
Did anyone else experience long delays in getting their supporting materials delivered? I'm wondering if the Passport Office won't officially "accept" documentation for those of us who applied after 29 April. In other words, my materials are in a stack because the processing clock won't start until the backlog is cleared.
Thank you - it's very helpful to know that An Post recognizes the same tracking number. I just checked, and An Post has no record of it, so I guess it's stuck somewhere in the USPS system.littlerr wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:05 amIf it says it’s still waiting for documentation, it means they have not received your application yet. They should update your application status to document received as soon as they received it from the post office.
If you have a USPS tracking number, it should look like AB123456789CD. You should track it on www.anpost.ie to see if it has been delivered.
Hi littlerr, I admire your knowledge in almost all the topics discussed on this Ireland forum. Not only that you are well informed but also your style of support which is highly constructive, empathetic and non-conflictory is really exemplary. May god bless you always.littlerr wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:05 amIf you have a USPS tracking number, it should look like AB123456789CD.

Just as a reference, I have a few packages from Americas & Asia to Ireland recently. It takes on average 2-3 weeks to complete the export process and put them onto a plane, and another 2-4 weeks before the tracking number shows up on An Post. Once it shows up, it should just take 2-3 days for it to be delivered.
I shall adjust my expectations accordingly! After waiting 18+ months for my FBR approval and certificate, I can certainly wait for this process to take its course.littlerr wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:08 pmJust as a reference, I have a few packages from Americas & Asia to Ireland recently.

Make sure to choose "No" at "My most recent passport was issued less than 15 years ago" page. Then you'll have an option to pick "Naturalisation". When they say "my most recent passport" - it means an Irish passport, but since it's a first time you are applying for - you never had an Irish passport before, hence the answer is "no" to the question of recent passports.JayL wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:51 amHi all,
While submitting an online application for Irish Passport for First Time applicants, can any one please tell me which option should I select for the question below?
My passport book is:
Expiring or Expired
Lost
Stolen
Damaged
Full (visa Pages)
It does not have an option like 'None of the above' for First Time Applicants

Is there any benefit in applying online first and then posting the documents later? DOes it help speed up the processing timeline?username08811 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 2:17 pmApplied early March, posted documents early May.

* got approved and sent the final fee in Feb 2020
<COVID happened>
* received the certificate of naturalisation in Feb 2021 and applied for a passport
<Passport services were offline>
* sent supporting documents for the passport in early May 2021
* received the passport on June 15th 2021
* received the originals and other supporting documents next day on June 16 2021
Good luck to everyone, be patient and don't stress! A big thank you for everyone in this forum for all the help and support!
