Email for address received in spam 1/10/19 Certificate delivered 7/11/19 dated 1/10 Congratulations Jacqui309! Your long FBR journey is finally over! Out of interest, how long did the email sit in your spam before you noticed it / responded? I received the confirmation of address email a week ago (...

Hello. New here, so please forgive me if this is the wrong place. The grandparent through whom i am making my application does not have a current state-issued identification (from the UK). Both passport and driving license are out-of-date. Would a bus pass suffice? What other options do I have? Tha...

My information and status: Standard FBR package sent from US to Dublin. FBR package received in Dublin November 20, 2018. Email received asking for address confirmation October 2, 2018. I wasn't expecting to hear anything for a month or two. Perhaps they making progress on the backlog!!... or I am ...

I can’t see any information about adopted applicants on the due website. Can somebody apply if they are adopted and hence their grandmother is not a blood relative

In USA-at first I had no idea about a "stamp" Stamps are a very UK/Ireland thing I think - it's basically a rubber stamp with their name, address, phone number, etc on. I was surprised they asked for it, it's very retro. Not that common these days, but then business cards are quite old fashioned to...

In the hope my certificate arrives soon I have started to look at the passport application. It says the witness has to stamp the photo. I work in a hospital so surrounded by suitable people but none of them will have a stamp! What do I do. The Medical Director witnessed my passport copy for the fbr ...

Quick question: So far has everyone who has got their FBR certificate received an email confirmation of citizenship before the certificate is printed/posted?

Thanks

They email to ask you to confirm your address before you are added to the register

With so many people getting emails asking for confirmation of address and many getting this on their birthday I checked my emails on Monday in anticipation. Nothing! So today I called the FBR and got through quickly. The lady asked the date of my application and I said May 2018. She said you mean 20...

It is my birthday on Monday, perhaps that is what they have been waiting for.......getting closer to 16 months!

Sulla thank you for your kind words about my application. I just can’t understand why it is taking so long as it is now over 15 months with no information on progress. I have tried phoning and emailing but get no response. I know this won’t speed up the application but I just worry it has gone astra...

Of those of you who have been asked from additional information how long has it taken from that to being added to the register? I am just wondering if you go back to the beginning of the queue or what. As mine was all accepted and passed on to a senior person in December I thought I would have heard...

My wait seems to continue for ever.... As you can see from Sulla’s helpful list I received an acknowledgment email on 15 May 2018. In October 2018 I was asked for my mother’s passport copy to be rewitnessed. I then had some email questions about my grandmother’s date of birth. Everything was complet...

Please do let us know if you hear anything back. I'm wondering if they just stopped responding to inquiries now. Did you have some items that that needed fixing? Or is yours a straight forward application that you still have not heard anything on? [/quote] Yes I did have some questions in October 20...

Well it’s my applications 15 month anniversary today and still no news. I have emailed but not had a response. I just wish I knew what was happening

Not sure why my words didn't appear in the post above!!!

It was congratulations but I am still waiting after 15 months. I have tried to call them as I can't understand why it is taking this long but can't get through so have emailed. It is a right but also a privilege

Hi, Just got an email from the Hong Kong Consulate that my certificate is ready to collect. I applied Mid/Late June 2019 and got confirmation 8-9 weeks later. My Case - Documentation - my ID, birth cert, Dad’s ID and birth cert and Grandfather’s Birth Cert and Death Cert. Notes: Straight forward do...

Can anyone let me have a phone number to ring from UK for FBR update please

My wife’s FBR is now official. Her timeline: August 14, 2018 received email that her application was received. July 17th, 2019 email stating they just needed to verify her current address. We responded to email on same day. July 25th received her official FBR certificate - what a beautiful thing to...

I have said before and will say again here, that in the case of my application the submission date was acknowledged as the date of application. This formed part of an answer to a formal complaint I made and came from the head of the FBR department in writing. Legally, it is not tenable to claim any...

On the 14th month anniversary of the receipt of my application I phoned for an update. The good news is I got through easily but the bad news is there is no news and no update. They just said it was active and to call back in a while. Hi Jacqui Is yours straightforward or have they previously been ...
