Hi all. Question re FBR delivery. Does anyone know what postal service is used to deliver the package of original certificates and newly printed FBR back to you? Is it Royal Mail / an post or another courier like fedex? Cheers! I received mine through Royal Mail Special Delivery; I think my FBR cer...

Fantastic news Zippy! Mine was dispatched on Friday so hopefully have it either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm having the same problem re the An Post tracking number, clearly it's a common issue.

Thanks and enjoy your passport!

Hi James, I have some news too :D I checked my application yesterday (6th March) and the status has changed to "Your application is complete" When I clicked on the Status History button ... I found that it was "printing" on the 4th - so that phase would seem to take 2 days. and more ... " Your pass...

Hi James, I'm afraid the status is no more useful than the progress bar... My application was received 25/1/19 - estimated issue date 15/2/19. Since 15/2/19 to date, the status of my application has remained as "Processing Application", and the estimated issue date is unchanged. I had a webchat wit...

James, when were your documents recieved in Dublin?

Unsure I’m afraid, the only date I have is the date they were received at the Embassy.

Decided to email the DFA to check up on my application and have got the following response today: Hi James Thank you for your query. Your application has been put forward for approval. This is the final stage in the process but due to a high volume of applications it will take a number of weeks befo...
