Passport application following naturalisation

Post by Okaykay » Sat Apr 27, 2019 7:46 pm

Hey guys,
I’m wondering if once naturalised I’m obliged to apply for my first Irish passport in Ireland or I can do that in the Irish consulate in another country?
My wife got a job in the US and I’ll follow her while my application is pending, then once approved I’d come for the ceremony and fly back and apply for my passport in the US then.
What would you say?
Thanks

You can apply for your passport in any country, as long as that is your country of residence. So if you have a work or study visa in USA, you can apply for passport there. If you are on a tourist visa/permit you cannot apply for passport from there.

I would strongly advise against travelling abroad for extended periods while your citizenship application is still in pending. My friend who has a British passport and has been living in Ireland for 20 years are having this issue as he moved back to the UK a few months after the application was lodged. It has been almost a year now and his application is still in first stage.
