Ahhh, that clarifies it. Thank you Cr001

Is it mandatory to attend a citizenship ceremony? If so, when did that start - a recent requirement? That's tough for some of us who are not in Europe.

Hi Tom From Pasadena (California?) I did receive the "Application received" type email and "Payment received" email. However, I received NOTHING from them until the FBR arrived in the mail. I mailed it off January 3, 2018 from California. It arrived in Dublin on January 7, 2018. I heard nothing unti...

JUST got my FBR Certificate in the USPS registered mail a few minutes ago.

a.s.b.o.,

If it helps, Rcrowley32 (his/her post on the previous page) indicates it took 2 months for the children's applications to be approved. The passport process is, of course, an entirely different matter.

Mabelhank,

I did the same as you, submitted straight to Dublin, and nothing but a "we received it" email since. I submitted the first week of January 2018.

I think straight to Dublin submissions are due to our submitting from the US.

Looking forward to hearing future updates!

I hope it is true also. I inquired of an Irish law firm that specialized in immigration, but have yet to hear back.

Have any of you seen this thread?: https://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/irish-nationality-and-citizenship-act-of-1956-t246115.html It makes sense. If his parent was born outside Ireland prior to 1956 (1929 in this case), the child of an 1905 Irish-born citizen, then the 1929 born child is a cit...

For those of you who got your first-time Irish Passport, did they return your original documents (birth certificates, etc.) when they sent it to you?

Ok, I know I have another question pending above (adoptee), but I have one more perhaps the fine folks here can lend some insight: If my Grandmother was born in Ireland that makes her daughter (my mother) automatically an Irish citizen. She can apply straightaway for her first Irish passport as she ...

How does an American adoptee of a woman who had an Irish-born mother change the mix? My brother was adopted. Our parents were born here. Our mother's mother was born in Co. Mayo.

What other documentation would he have to provide to obtain his FBR cert?

Hi All, Just wanted to create a quick intro post. I've been gathering docs for the last several months. Some have been really hard to get ahold of. Anyhow... Just completed the online app and fee payment via cc here in the Los Angeles area (Southern California - The O.C., home of Disneyland, facades...
