I have applied for first time Irish passport and it says I should get it around 26 March. They received all the documents (original naturalisation cert, original passport, copy of Public service card, 2 address proof, identity verification by Garda) from me on 4th March. It also says Passport Card ...

Hi all, can we continue this thread with new passport applicants

Has anyone been successful in applying without a full birth certificate?

Any approvals today?

Unless the election mess with INIS schedule we should be expecting the second batch of approvals this week

The last person I spoke to over the phone said my application was with the minister. Let’s hope we are in the next batch of approvals When did you apply ? And do they receive calls on Tuesday and Thursday ? I have tried so many times but someone picks the call and then cut it . I have the exact tim...

Has everyone who applied before March 2019 and after Dec 2018 received an approval? Or are there pending applications?

Thank you for all your responses. I contacted local TD to enquire on my behalf because information I am getting from INIS is ambiguous at best. I received this response: " Dear xxxxx Many thanks for your email. I brought your email to the attention of the relevant department, however, they have noti...

I rang them today and was told my application has been submitted to the minister.
Likelihood of being included in the next ceremony?

This topic is in the Ireland sub forum for Irish naturalisation, not sure if your advice is based on British citizenship by naturalisation, which obvs doesn't apply.

Ouops, sorry for that. My advice is based on British Citizenship. It doesn't stand for Irish citizenship.

Thank you anyway

No venture for an educated / anecdotal guess?

Hi SouthAfricanNomad Can you please let me know when did you send your application? I've sent mine last August. The latest letter received was that my application have been moved to stage 2. Since then, no communication. Also, can you let me know their email address for a follow up? Thank you!!! I ...

I received this reply from team 23 :| in November. I wonder if it means anything at all about a guaranteed approval or when I should expect it.. but there will be at-least 3 ceremonies this year. “Thank you for your email, please be advised your application is at an advanced stage of processing, thi...

Hi all.

I’m curious if anyone has ever heard for someone being refused on the basis of late tax returns? And if so, what was the background and conclusion of the matter?

And at which stage do refusals often occur. Have they ever occurred after advanced stage?


Thank you in advance

Hi guys.

Does anyone know the stages at which an application can get denied and the possible reasons per stage

Eg
Stage 1 - obviously if don’t meet the requirements (length of residency etc)
Stage 2- criminal record etc
Advanced stage?

Have there ever been denials at this stage?

Many thanks

I wonder when they will release the dates for 2020. Hopefully there will be a few really early ceremonies.

Hi all.

I am in final stage. I assume it’s unlikely I make it to the next ceremony in December.

Just curious anyone know if there has ever been a ceremony earlier than April in previous years.

Thanks in solidarity.

Thanks for the responses guys. Working in a high turnover job myself, i tend to empathize with the team members. They are dealing with a a lot of applications and they are Im sure doing their best without getting themselves burntout. I know waiting and having no control is frustrating, but we need t...

I guess Im just trying to figure out if team 2 deals with stage 2, since we know that team 1 deals with the final step (ie approval). And whether having a reference number is an indication that your application has moved forward to stage 2. I'm not sure how knowing the teams helps anything... but I...
