Congratulations!! Mine took a full year BEFORE the pandemic! This was ...

I'm living in an actual nightmare. It took almost 29 months for my FBR certificate to arrive after application. Now Royal Mail have LOST my passport application, which contained my birth certificate and my FBR!! Does anyone know how much it will cost to get a replacement and how long I'll have to w...

Hi Everyone!! Quick question!! I know (living in the United States) I can start the first time passport process online and send in the documents needed. Is it better to just mail the whole thing in? Also, the original forms we have to send in, do we get them back like with the FBR? Thanks in advance...

Hi Everyone! I received my FBR 2 years ago. Mine took 12 months. First, I am SO incredibly sorry for the unbelievable Covid hurdle you have all had to deal with it. After gathering all the necessary documents... a process on its own...to have to wait so long. Hang in there, this has to end eventuall...

Does anyone know if they do same day passports there? Like we do here in the United States. Since I’m going to be there, I was hoping to avoid the mailing, processing, etc. Only if it is an emergency . Otherwise, the minimum for passport renewals is three days. But obviously, you won't be a renewal...

Sulla, Also wanted to say that I received the email asking me to confirm my mailing address on 7-31. I immediately responded and I was entered into the FBR one day later. on 8-1. I received the package in the mail 2 weeks later on 8-15. Exactly 12 months. Also, I am going to be in Ireland for severa...

Hi everyone! It’s been a week since I responded to the “confirm your mailing address email” from the FBR Office. It said my application would be approved shortly. Does anyone have an idea what shortly means🤦‍♀️? And will I receive another email? Thanks, Laurie Well done Laurie. We are creeping forw...

Hi everyone!

It’s been a week since I responded to the “confirm your mailing address email” from the FBR Office. It said my application would be approved shortly. Does anyone have an idea what shortly means? And will I receive another email?

Thanks,
Laurie

Thank you so much everyone!! I hope to see everyone getting the same email very soon!! I’m in the United States and my application went directly to Dublin. Thanks for the tip on confirmed delivery. I will definitely do that!

Laurie

This morning I received an email from the FBR office saying you will soon be added to the FBR. Please confirm your mailing address by replying !

Is this real? I can’t believe it!

Laurie

Thanks so much Sulla for all the effort you put in here. Looks like quite a job keeping it all straight! Much appreciate you! I also want to thank Sulla for going above and beyond in tracking everyone’s dates and progress. If it wasn’t for you and this forum, I’m absolutely positive I would have lo...

Well, this just added insult to injury. I am currently at 11 months and 2 weeks. A few weeks ago I called the FBR office in Dublin. I was on hold for 27 min, the rest of the call was 3 minutes. I gained no usable information from this call except that I was in the queue. I just received my phone bi...

I am at the 11 month mark... it can’t be much longer! Ugh!

Hi everyone! So, I finally called the FBR office. After a 30 minute wait🙄, a lovely chap picked up. Hard to understand😂. He looked up my application and said “oh you’re almost at the top of the queue! Won’t be long now!” He said that they are working on early August at present. (Although, I know som...

Gave FBR a call to check status this AM. On hold for about 8 minutes. Was told when application was received (8/14/18). He said it has not been processed and estimated could take 12 months. Also asked about changing address as we have sold our house in preparation for a move to Europe. Glad we made...

Just checking in to report still waiting. Haven't heard anything since application received email on 8/14/2018! I received the confirmation email from Dublin on Aug 15, 2018. Application and documents received. I haven’t heard anything since. Where are you? Did you have to send it through the embas...
