Today is 1 month past estimated issue date for my daughters first time passport application. Was just on chat with them they said documents are scanned and they are with verification team. They also said they can not escalate this, is it true that first time passport applications can not be escalate...

The website says the following: Additional documentation to confirm the child’s Irish citizenship. The documents you need to provide depend on how the child became an Irish citizen – see below.

Received my son's Naturalisation cert today! Applied in June or July. Hopefully everyone else will start getting them!

July 2021? So quick?

By "apply" I meant applying for a certificate, not the naturalisation process as a whole - which we started in June 2020.

That's what I did - applied via naturalisation route. It seems that the second page of passport application consent document which mentions extra documents does not apply to naturalisation. I'm thinking of just supplying passport copies (mine & my wife's). Same is described here: https://www.citizen...

Received my son's Naturalisation cert today! Applied in June or July. Hopefully everyone else will start getting them!

Hello! I'm applying for my son's first time passport as he just got naturalised but I'm not sure which documents to submit from the perspective of parents. When he was born, my & my wife were non Irish citizens, but since then we became citizens. Now the document checklist has this section: Born in ...

Update: as I expected, my passport was delivered to the wrong address, luckily I established contacts with them. It took roughly two weeks to process the application.

This topic can be closed now.

I applied for my son early June and whole process incl. post delivery took 14 days.

thank you! Today is 14 days for me so hopefully I'll get my passport back next week.

Hello! Did anyone applied for a Reentry Visa recently? How long did it take to process? I applied and my documents were delivered on June 18th and last time I applied (for my son in end of May) it took less than a week to process the application. The reason I'm asking is that our new postman often d...

I can now say that the naturalisation journey is over for me :D The timeline: * applied to become a citizen in Feb 2019 * 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 offli...

Hi 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 ab...

Status of my application just changed to printing! Yay!

I had a similar experience it was showing an estimate of 27/5 and today it’s showing printing. Did anyone got their passport yet.

This is excellent news! Congrats!! . This means that things are in motion and we are going to be out of this wait soon!

I hope they will process by the end summer. Did they received they originals prior to the printing status? As per my understanding of the process, they first check what is inside envelope, then scan originals and send back to you, after that process/check and then print. Unless you ask them, they w...

There's some hope for receiving our first time passports sooner than later, someone on another forum confirmed that their status has changed to printing yesterday. They applied back in Feb and submitted documents in early May with an estimated issue date of 25th of May - so roughly two weeks past es...

It looks like the chat is closed and the same for the phone lines, they just given up on those. I think 10 weeks is quite optimistic. It looks like they want to process documents that they received prior May and then go for other applications. "The Passport Service is continuing to process Passport...

Not sure how are they planning on "clearing the backlog" by the end of June (6-8 weeks) if no passports (seemingly) were issued for first time applicants since reopening. I'd expect them to at least process some of the applications and print some of the passports, unless they are "processing" all of...

Had a chat with them just now and asked them if they could scan my documents and return them to me, they said the documents haven't been scanned yet and it might take a week or two for them to be scanned into system. They suggested me to contact them again later and ask for the original documents on...

I will need a passport (either new or existing) by early July and for some reason I think I may not get it by that time. My estimated date shows 31st of May, I think I'll try to contact them via chat in the first week of June to see if there's any progress or if they somehow could "scan" my existing...

Just checked this morning. Yesterday my status was still saying “processing application” but the progress bar was completely full - so I was feeling pretty optimistic. This morning, the bar has gone BACK to around 3/4 full! :shock: No indication of why. Estimated issue date was 18/5, and although I...

By law they required to call if in doubt. That is incorrect. The airline does not have to call the immigration control, as long as you don’t hold the required documents as specified on the airline’s website. In Ryanair’s case, it’s always either a valid visa or a valid original IRP card. You were j...

From my personal experience I can tell that I managed to travel twice without an IRP card and a Re-Entry Visa (back in 2019). First time when I forgot to take my IRP card, I was lucky that the airline didn't really bother to check the Visa as everyone was in rush (Aer Lingus), second time (no IRP ca...
