Please excuse my ignornance everyone. I’m still waiting on my FBR, should be coming reasonably soon (next couple of months hopefully). Can anyone advise me on what I need for my passport? I’m living in the US, my Grandmother was Irish. From what I can tell I need My birth certificate, my passport, my marriage licence, a couple of utility bills and an idenity verification form (anyone know what this is?). If I’ve missed anything please let me know and once again please excuse my ignorance.
Identity Verification Form is for your witness (like in FBR application).You'll apply online & need a digital photo (EU size) to upload when you apply. You'll need an ID -if you have a passport send a notarized color copy. You also send a notarized color copy of your FBR certificate. Here is stuff from DFA.ie if passport via FBR first time passport applicant.
