Hello, I am just looking for some clarifications on one major thing, I am currently a Canadian Citizen (My father was also born in Canada) but my grandfather was born in Northern Ireland in 1927 - Do I qualify for Irish Citizenship? From everything I'm reading I believe I do - is this correct? Hey!...

OK thanks. I'm guessing 5 months considering the impact of the virus on things. Thankfully I'm not on a particular timetable. If it hasn't already been added into the passport application tracking system I'm guessing that happens when the application arrives in Ireland for processing, and not while...

Just wondering - does anyone have any insight into how long it takes for a newly-minted Irish citizen to receive their Irish passport? I was directed to send it to the New York City consulate and it was signed for late last week so I know they received it. Was just wondering (a) how long it took to...

This will be my final post. I applied for my FBR Jan 10th 2019. Received FBR Dec 23rd I believe and immediately applied for my irish passport. Passport was received Feb 28th. So the turn around time for my passport to Toronto was about 10 - 11 weeks. They told me not to expect to arrive for latest 1...

Well, I'm quickly coming up on the 1 year mark since my application was received in Dublin (sent from Toronto). I was emailed Feb 19, 2019 saying everything was recieved and nothing since. This is ridiculous how people from March 2019 are receiving theirs before mine. Maybe there is a bias against ...

Hello everyone! I've been following this forum since mid last year, and it has kept me ever so hopeful! I received some wonderful news last night - my certificate will be approved shortly and will be on its way, so I guess I'm an Irish citizen now! My timeline is as follows.. Application and paymen...

Hello. Just wanted to update my status. FBR showed up in the mail Dec 30th and I immediately sent out my passport application to the Ottawa Irish embassy as instructed. I have a job offer in Amsterdam starting date March 1st. Gotta have that EU passport for it to go through. Any ideas on how long th...

Update! Logged into the passport tracker on the 31st, it said my passport was being printed. Logged in early this morning, it's been dispatched! I only sent my application on October 15th so that is lighting fast processing time and well before their estimate of November 28th. Very impressive! I fo...

Just wanted to give an update on my son’s FBR application. My last update I had indicated that I got a confirmation of address email. I decided to phone FBR to get a tracking number for the certificate and returned documents. The agent provided me with a tracking number and informed me that my son ...

Processing has revved up now because they took on 80+ staff recently! Hopefully this means they'll whizz through the backlog now https://www.jobalert.ie/job/clerical-officers-passport-service-90-positions-available-the-dep Be aware that the staff are new!! I received address confirmation email Oct ...

Got my email yesterday (30th Oct 2019) to notify that my application will be approved soon and to confirm my address. My application was received by them on 30th Jan 2019. Soooooon Congratulations! Out of interest, is that receieved date at an Embassy (e.g. London) or in Ireland (i.e. with DFA at B...

Update: Received email confirming address today Sept 29, 2019. It states in the email that I will need to be there to sign for the package. Does anyone know if they will warn you prior to date of arrival? Or if I am not home would they bring it to the local post office? Might be a Canada specific pr...

Hi, It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but I wanted to let you know that I received a confirmation of mailing address email so my son’s application will be processed shortly. I originally sent my son’s application directly to Dublin (from Canada). Date received by Dublin: Dec 6, 2018 Conf...

I am happy to say that stage one of “Project Failte” is complete, I finally got to add the red book to the case. I had this case made in Ireland over a year ago when I started collecting the FBR documents.

This is quite the nice double passport holder. Can I ask where you purchased from?

Hey! So just to clarify it took you from July 5th to Oct 1st to receive your passport? I thought the passport application was much shorter? Suggestion: If you are a US citizen and reside in the USA, I suggest you get Global Entry! Here is a link explaining it.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zVm-b...

Hello everyone,

Any ideas on how long the passport process is taking for first time applications from Canada or North America with the FBR cert?

Thanks

Hello, I have a quick question regarding passport forms for Foreign births. I applied for my foreign birth certificate last December and would like to get the passport application fully filled out before I receive my foreign birth cert. Just so I can have a quick turn around time. On the passport gu...

I tried this for FBR and it kept directing me to require a passport number. Even though I was clicking on the FBR webchat. Could you provide me with the URL you used to connect to the webchat? Thanks It's the 'Have a question?' box on the right. But it's only open until 4. You go in a queue. https:...

I tried contacting the webchat but it requires an 11 digit passport number. The one I received is only 10 so it wasn't usable. I don't know if you're referring to a passport application or FBR but you can just contact them via the webchat link even without a number. I did recently and was told the ...

I posted my application off at the beginning of the month to the embassy, I have had no confirmation of receipt (I was also supposed to receive confirmation it had been collected from the local post office but didn't get that either!) I don't know if I should contact the embassy and make sure they ...

Fair enough, you guys have me questioning myself now! I would go to my Doctor but even that is no longer on the list on the FBR website! Here is a screenshot from my form, generated last week: I think it would be incredibly harsh if they rejected it considering this is exactly what it says, but as ...
