I think the delay really is just volumes of applicants Rosmuc, I don't think your info will make it any quicker but I would definitely help her with the application to make sure she fills out everything properly and gets all the necessary documents correct and signed.

Fabulous news to share! I just received the address check for the FBR application for my three children. We applied in Dec 2019 and our paperwork receipt email confirmation was dated Jan 27 2020.

Just saw this, fab news - congratulations!!

It's finally happened - we have the emails confirming that my children's applications have been accepted! 2 years 4 months later! :D Congrats! When were your documents received? Sorry SaltEire, I haven't been around for a bit so missed this. Haven't got the certificates yet but had an email today t...

Congratulations to everyone who are getting their certificates, I'm June 2020 so hoping it's not too long for me now. I've searched for an answer to this but can't find it anywhere - what happens when the address confirmation email/phonecall comes through, and you're not at the same address? Do you...

You have almost identical dates as me! I had to send back a couple of signed photocopies but also confirmed my address at the same time. I tracked the post so I know they now have those copies delivered. Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I received my confirmation of address email last we...

I'm almost there!! Documents sent: December 2019 Documents received: 19 January 2020 Clarification/request for signed passport photocopies: 11 April 2022 Can't be much longer can it? At least there has been contact and I now know someone is looking at it and the application didn't fall down the back...

Long time lurker first time poster: FBR Applied online: 10 January 2019 FBR Documents submitted email: 13 January 2020 (I'm disorganised) Confirmation of Address: 24 March 2022 Congratulations email: 24 March 2022 (Literally 30 minutes later) This was being processed by Team 8. Good luck everyone! ...

Thanks to this great board which I have been watching the past few months and it has given me hope! My FBR journey is nearly over and I thought it would be useful for the other December 2019/January 2020 applicants to see this. Applied: 27/12/2019 Documents received: 13/01/2020 Address check: 22/03...

Still waiting here from application December 2019 for my children. The eldest has now turned 18 so god only knows what's going to happen to that application now. :? I asked about this when I spoke to FBR last week as my daughter will turn 18 shortly, I was told that it will still be processed as a ...

Exciting to see the update from noncomjd - wife in the google doc. From what I can see the first of the 2019 February submissions that have been fully completed. Would suggest processing times of around 24 months. Did you mean February 2020 submissions? I'm Feb 2020 and coming up on 24 months short...

Just doing my usual couple of months check in. :lol: I'm up to 25 months now and not a peep. Reading that people are at 30 months is just mad. My 15 year old son (on application) will be 18 in seven weeks. God only knows what spanner that is going to be in the application! Yea, I'm at 24 months and...

Thanks for those confirming the correct email!

Celtic67 its very frustrating but hopefully yours will be with you very shortly, I do wonder how they are dealing with them though, maybe the pile fell on the floor and someone just scooped them up randomly!

I think I've found it! thank god for that, I was having a proper panic. Your application for Irish citizenship through entry on the Foreign Births Register has now been received. Information in relation to current processing timelines can be found on our webpage www.dfa.ie/citizenship/born-abroad/re...

Who can I contact about this that might be helpful do you think?

I am now worrying that the emails I got are just that they received payment not that they received the actual documents. Christ, I cannot spend another couple of years doing this again! Hi Sooze, you should have had an email with the subject "Application for Foreign Birth Registration <your unique ...

Just popping back in to confirm that I've still heard nothing. My application is for my children, one of whom is now four months off 18! Timeline again: Applied - December 2019 Email acknowledging submissions: 27th December 2019 Since then - tumbleweed. I am now worrying that the emails I got are ju...

No, no witness needed and they are not strict on the pose etc.. they will ask you to send them to a specific person not just to fbr office.

Many thanks for your advice.

Congratulations to everyone else who has had their FBR finalised - I'm very jealous. Mine isn't for me but for my two children. I've had a passport for years. It's funny reading how many relatives lied about their ages. My mum's birth cert and passport have different dates but same month and year b...
