Hi all, I’m a UK applicant via FBR, recently I sent off all my documents but my ID was a Color photocopy of my passport signed and verified by my witness who also signed the verification page. Now I am reading that people were submitting their original passports. Is this a must? :cry: Others have d...

Hello, I'm a Jan 2020 applicant, docs received Jan 27th and still not heard a peep. Wondering if anyone else is from Jan 2020 and still waiting? As I've seen some Feb applicants getting theirs now! :? I literally check my inbox everyday! According to someone's post after speaking with FBR team, the...

Where does the "Address check" part of the process come in? Somehow (I don't know how) I got the impression it meant they were starting on your application, but from studying the data in the spreadsheet, the time between the address check and the congrats email is pretty short. Is the address check...

Well, it's been over two years and I am finally Irish. In the time since my application, there's been a pandemic, I've gotten older, seen parents get older, and numerous other life changes. My mortality made me question everything from the importance of this journey to keeping my US citizenship. For...

‘Approval soon’ email 8/2/2022

Wow, congrats! Finally, after 2+ yrs of watching this forum, they are processing apps at or later than my doc received date (Dec 19, 2019). Now I will be checking email even more frequently than before.

Hi all, an update on my application which was received 10 October 2019. I just received a confirmation of details email from the FBR department. I am applying through descent to my grandfather who was born in Ireland, however I unfortunately do not have his marriage certificate to my grandmother. I...

alittlelate - Thanks so much for taking the time to compile this.

I got my email conf of docs received on Dec 19, 2019.

I think ireland/foreign-birth-registration-t277 ... l#p1874932 was Sulia's last update post where you can see others as well.

Just thought I'd post an update Sept. 22, 2019 - Online Application + Fees Paid Oct. 21, 2019 - Documents Mailed Nov. 5, 2019 - Email Confirmation of Documents July 1, 2021 - Application Approved, Email to Confirm Mailing Address Can't believe it's taken this long, but happy its finally approved! :...

How does the address confirmation work?

They email you asking if your original address is still valid..?

A) you say yes and they mail the FBR there
B) you say no, then have to send in proof of address before they move FWD?

given COVID, it's not looking likely I will be at the same address.

my DFA app received email date was Dec 19 2019

I am getting a year ahead of myself, but I thought I read somewhere on here that a pickup option for the passport could save some time after FBR. Can you pick up the FBR cert in Dublin? Or once received fly to Dublin to get the passport? I remember reading that a passport done in Dublin is ~ 3 wks.

Got the app received email today - Dec 18.

I assume there's no correlation between the online app submission and processing? In other words, there's no point in applying and getting an earlier number while you gather the docs, right?

I got a hold of a doctor friend. FedEx will have it in Balbriggan on Dec 18. Thanks everyone.

I tried searching but didn't find too much on what counts as "personally knowing" for a witness. Does my old physcial therapist or denist count? Can I just use a Notary? Or the Bank mgr where I bank at? Has anyone had difficulties with that?

Caveat - I have only read a couple hundred of the 1650 in this thread. Many are status updates, which doesn't help me when looking for a FAQ. ;) My grandfather was born in Dublin. The last official document is a day away in the mail and I am ready to logon and submit my app. Question : Is there anyt...
