Perfect! Thanks so much, I was going to submit a certifed copy of my passport and Drivers License. So it looks like I was on the right track. I just wanted to double-check it would be awful to get this close to the finish line and do something wrong. If resident outside of Ireland submit: Original p...

Yes, I used the contact us form in April and was emailed back by a DFA employee within a few days. The person did not tell me much, but asked for my application ID, which I provided, and then they confirm that application was there and pending review. It didn't do any good for getting an ETA or any...
Good news - I have received the confirmation of address email :D - Thanks to everyone for posting supportive advice and info and keeping hopes up over many months. It has been a very long wait over 2 years, but the day has arrived as so many have said it would. So as others have said - the longing ...

Is this the address?？ Yes t...
I'm really hoping the offices will open up soon as well, My soon to be wife and I were planning on moving to Dublin in September of this year for a new adventure and when I applied for my FBR in August 2019, I got an email confirmation saying it would take 6 months to process, So we thought 2021 wou...
So I'm starting to get nervous about the shutdown and lack of action on FBR certificates. I received an email on August 20/2019 saying that they have received my application and supporting documents and it said it would take 6 months to process and I have noticed on here that the wait time is now be...

This may be a bit of a silly question but I'm just wondering if the FBR offices are currently closed on Ireland due to COVID-19. I applied to the FBR in August of 2019 and I'm just curious if it will be longer then a 12 month wait due to this crisis - if anyone has any information please share
Hello, I finally have my application ready to be submitted to the FBR and there is one spot on the form that I am a little unsure of what it is supposed to be filled out with (My Family DR was my witness for my application) It's the part that says: I certify that the applicant is personally known to...
