Re: Foreign Birth Registration

Here is my letter of complaint. As requested. It was made on March 7th 2019. On the 22nd of March I received a reply and my certificate was in my hands not long after - maybe a week. This of course could all be coincidence. However, it is also true that I received my passport well before people who ...

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

You know, I wasn't going to reply to Sulla. I was just going to keep my mouth shut. But his post has been nagging on me and I have to say something. I am a professional litigator. As far as I am concerned, the folks in Ireland are doing their best under bad conditions. First, they had Brexit and th...

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

Some people will feel better to be doing something active like complaining during the process. It certainly made me happier to know that various people in the DFA had to take time away from reading the newspaper and chatting by the coffee machine to write me what amounted to a sorry letter. Call me...

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

You all have my sympathies that you are having to endure such an elongated process. I don't have that much patience. Best of luck to you all. Welcome back Sulla! Me and you went through the FBR process in 2019 and both our applications were processed speedily as we were ahead of the main Brexit rus...

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

It has been a very long time since I (re)started this thread and years since I checked in. Today, I had the notion of doing so only to discover that the FBR section have taken 2 years and 4 months to process an application. Kudos. My own process took up 10 months from FBR application to passport rec...

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

New list with recent updates. Due to the lock-down conditions that are now current in many parts of the world (including the Irish Republic) I doubt there will be much progress anytime soon for any applicants. The FBR office appears to be closed, which is hardly an unanticipated outcome given the s...

Hi all, I have a maternal Irish-born grandmother. I think I now have all the documents I need to apply, but my UK-born mother does not have a passport, driving licence, or any other state-issued ID document. Should that matter? (I have her birth certificate of course.) Yes, it matters. The best cou...

I have read the webpage on FBR on the DFA website, but i still have questions. other than calling the phone number on the page, is there another place one can get information? is there an FAQ, etc?

A new list with updates. Actually, due the the backlog there have not been all that many changes. Valiant's news was one item, but there have not been very many people getting their certificates lately. The same type of delay happened to me last year. I waited 14 weeks on printing.

Re: Foreign Birth Registration

Well, my application process just gets more and more painstaking. The Registrar that produced the death certificate for my grandfather's recent death has made a typo in his first name that no one picked up on at the time of entry. The first name has an extra letter, despite them spelling his name c...

My GF's birth certificate from Ireland has "Francis" as his first name, but he used "Frank" when he came to the US, and that's the name on his marriage and death certificates, as well as how he ls listed as "Father" on my fathers BC.
