Hi Sulla,
The date on my FBR Certificate is September 9th.
Congratulations to all those who have received their Certificates and Good Luck to all those waiting for approval!

I also recieved my email this morning asking for address confirmation!!!! WE MADE IT!!! Kathy CONGRATULATIONS to Ian & Kathy!!! I ...

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 ! Laurie Great News Laurie! Sounds like you are basically approved. Your 'Congratulations' email should be next. I'm one week behind you, so hopefully this ...

Michael123 any news on your FBR applications? Haven't seen you post an update recently.

Thanks! Just over 9 months now Just received my children's FBR approval just now in the mail! I submitted from NY to Dublin on August 8, 2018 and today is May 30, 2019! CONGRATULATIONS! Can you tell us the DATE of Entry into FBR? It should be listed on the Cert. Also, did they return ALL the origin...

I did the same in Feb, after not getting anywhere on the phone, I sent an email and got a standard reply that it is being processed as usual and I will hear from them if they need anything more from me. I am still curious about the whole "second letter" thing. I would love to hear from anyone that ...

Can someone help, some say they are receiving confirmation that things are moving along, I sent my application with all docs and payment Aug 2018, shortly after I received an email stating they had received the docs and accepted them. I have heard nothing since. I also am unsure if I am posting in ...

I called yesterday. Mine was received in London on 31st July - apparently it hasn't been processed yet but it likely to be 'very soon' as they are working on July now. Kindly keep us updated on your progress. I am an August applicant, so it would be good news if your July applications are being fin...

Hi Michael, happy to re-post my timeline so far:

Application recieved in Dublin: 22nd August 2018
Congratulations email: Pending
Delivery of FBR certificate: Pending

Glad to see we have a new thread with updated timelines from everyone.

7 Months Today. Also waiting for that E-Mail!

Wishing Everyone a HAPPY ST. PATRICK's DAY!!!
The Application process is longer than we expected, but with a Little Irish Luck we will all be Certified Irish Citizens by next St. Patrick's Day....and the Guinness will taste even better!
Cheers!

So it seems my journey is at an end as today my Irish passport arrived! Overall it was a little under 8 months for me from submitting the FBR application to having the passport in hand. It was definitely sped up by using Passport Express so if anyone can get to Liverpool or Glasgow to use it, it’s ...

Hi all, My question is: does anyone here have any inkling as to whether my queue position might be based on when I submitted the application? Or should I instead be expecting back-of-the-queue processing times starting from last week? Hello, You might try contacting DFA through the WebChat and ask ...

I'm finally looking into getting on the FBR and had a quick question. the application page on the DFA website it asks "Did Parent (through whom Irish citizenship is said to be derived) acquire Irish citizenship by virtue of… Birth to a Person Born in Ireland,Naturalisation, Post Nuptial Declaration...

Still claiming ‘5-6 months’ on the DFA website. Not very honest considering the real life experience and genuine delays of well over 6-9 months throughout this forum. Last week I was informed by the DFA via WebChat "The current turnaround time is 8 to 9 Months Minimum". They also said this timeline...

Michael / Upliam If my FBR is delivered according to the information I received from the embassy- then you guys may well be in an identical position. I certainly hope so. It is very possible that your emails simply were not sent out in all the confusion associated with the move and avalanche of Bre...

I checked on the status of FBR application today via Webchat. Application was received in Dublin on August 22, about 6 months ago. Was advised they are “working on the application” and the “current turnaround time is 8 to 9 months minimum” . They have received thousands of New Applications from the ...

I consider it a privilege that Ireland was willing to give me citizenship, simply because my grandparents were born there.

Completely agree.

100% agree. It is a privilege.

You attach your photos to the form, have the referees sign the forms and scan the signed forms with your photos on it.

Thank you for answering this question. I am doing my application now and had the same question.

Thanks!

Just called, was told not to expect anything until June!!! My application was recieved in August!! Thats 10 months!!

Michael,
Did they offer any information as to the reason for the extended delay?
I thought the new office was scheduled to be up and running by next week?

Passport Update: As of today, I am now in the tracking system and it says: "The estimated* issue date for your Passport is: 20/03/2019." So it seems that the 8 weeks they told me as to when I should receive it may be pretty accurate. Sean, When I did my passport application in the summer of 2018 th...
