Hi all. I'm out of the FBR frying pan and into the passport application fire. Can anyone confirm whether I need a stamp or business card from my witness who will certify my identity verification form? My GP has agreed to fill it in with me next week, but I'm unclear on what evidence she needs to pr...

Good to finally hear something after nearly two years' radio silence!

That's me done! My FBR certificate arrived this morning: Docs received - 12/nov/19 Confirmation of address phone call 30/aug/21 Congrats email 29/sep/21 Added to register 30/sep/21 FBR Recieved 04/10/21 That's encouraging!

I can confirm someone is in the FBR and processing stuff- got the good news today.

This is heartening. I'm in the late November cohort and have so far heard nothing. It might still be a few months for me but this is good to see anyway.

After receiving my documents back out the blue and sending an email to the FBR team, it was confirmed to me today that I was added to the FBR on 9 April and I am now an Irish citizen. Documents Received: 28 November 2019 Proof of wife’s pregnancy given (due Aug 2021): 8 February 2021 Documents retu...

I know this is the most wishful of wishful thinking, and I should just sit tight and wait, but my documents were accepted at Balbriggan in November 2019 and I'm wondering if anyone else in that cohort has been seen yet? I for sure won't be holding my breath, but I'm hopeful it won't be another year,...

The website specifies that I should not send supporting documentation as it cannot be processed at the moment. Is there any benefit to completing the application online a...

@ Derekkn

The email I got in Sept 2019 confirming receipt of my documents was noreply@dfat.ie

Thanks a million!

Hi all Just so others can gauge their progress: Confirmation of documents in Balbriggan: 21 Nov 2019. I've since heard nothing, which I was expecting. However, I'm being pelted with email spam at the moment and I'm worried any address confirmation emails from the DFA may be lost in the mire. Can som...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on here for ages (thanks so much for all the useful tips!) but now it's my turn to ask a question. I submitted my online application in July 2019 but submitted my certificates and other documentation in November 2019 because I had to tie up some loose ends. Do you thi...
