All schools and colleges in Ireland are now closed so there is sure to be a knock on effect unfortunately

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is the address confirmation email obviously from the DFA? I've now gone past the 1 year point since I got confirmation of docs received in Dublin and I'm wondering (probably irrationally!) if I didn't spot it and deleted it as spam :shock: It's from FBR clarif...

I noticed the FBR paper application asks for a stamp, business card or headed letter for the appropriate person who will certify true copy etc.

I didn't send any of these, nothing other than them signing the form, witnessing the photos and ID copy, and got approved!

Journey has finally ended! My final timeline: - Received email confirming docs received in Dublin: 27 March 2019 - Email received asking to confirm address: 24 Feb 2020 - Added to FBR: 24 Feb 2020 - Certificate and returned docs received: 9 March 2020 So 11.5 months altogether. Good luck to all thos...

Finally! Notification my application will be approved and request to confirm address received today. Docs received in Dublin 25 March 2019. Good luck everyone! Congrats, I'm still waiting patiently for a certificate, when I called they did say 5-6 week printing delay. I'm about halfway at nearly 3 ...

Hi all, I have been following this thread since I applied for my FBR. I have noticed nearly all of the March applicants have heard, but I have yet to! So I thought I would join in! My details: Application sent: 27/02/20 Recieved in Dublin: 28/03/2019 Hopefully I won't have to wait too much longer! ...

Finally, progress!

Received the address confirmation email today (20Feb2020). My application was received on 28Mar2019, so just shy of 11 months to get to this point.

I've got something to celebrate this weekend!

Congrats! 25th still waiting

So it's been 1 year today (Feb 19, 2019) since Dublin received my application and started processing it. I've received no word and was told 9 to 12 months. I'll be calling tomorrow. I'm in Toronto, so this doesn't make any sense Definitely call, March 2019 applicants are getting approvals now. I'm ...

Some timelines here helping me patiently wait. I had some concerns with a name variation. The O in O'Connell seemed to be dropped on my grandfather's birth certificate but was re-instated on marriage and death certificates. The O is present on my mothers birth cert too. This caused an uncle to have...

Incidentally, my boss was getting jealous because he thought we applied at the same time, but he just tracked down his email and realised he didn't get his application in until April. I persuaded him to ring up and he learned that the delay has extended again after March, so he now faces a month or...

I'm getting worried and depressed I've not heard anything yet. I'm past the 10 month threshold and it looks like all the other March 2019 applicants have heard something.

I haven’t! I’m 25 March still waiting

25 March 2019

I’m a March applicant haven’t heard anything yet

I sent out my application end of July and following my tracking it was received on August 1st 2019 at the embassy in Madrid. Its been 5 months and 22 days since then and I never got a confirmation that they received it. I emailed them a week ago asking about the situation and they replied saying my...

Confirmation of application received and 6 month deadline e-mail 4 June 2019 I would not consider it a deadline. It is an estimate. It all depends on their backlog, how many new applications they are getting and the complexity of checking your application. Hardly matters now.. whatever it was it is...

My dates are :- submitted app in Late May 2019 from UK, through Grandparents details. Confirmation of application received and 6 month deadline e-mail 4 June 2019 Looking at other posts, should I expect to hear something in April? I got my confirmation of docs received on 25 March 2019 so I’ll let ...

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...

Hello all, I discovered this site and decided to register and post my own dates of application for FBR. I sent my application on 21 March from the New York City metro area. I received an email on 28 March 2019 stating that my application had been received and that it would take up to six months to ...
