Since I can't edit my previous updates, here's one more post to conclude this rather unusual saga: USPS did have my passport. :roll: Instead of keeping our mail at the post office per request, they delivered it tonight at around 7:40pm PST, along with half (?) of our letters from the last 9-10 days....

Also, as far as the signature requirement goes, I remember that being explicitly mentioned when my FBR certificate was shipped. Found it waiting by our front door. So I'm not sure what's going on anymore (could be pandemic-related), but it seems like signature requests aren't really being honored he...

I believe I read somewhere that it has to be signed for. I suspect it may be sitting at your local post office? Went to the post office first thing before getting home, because I assumed it might be being held with our regular mail, as officially requested before Thanksgiving. Joke was on us - they...

Urgent follow-up to my last post: to anyone in the USA who's received their passport, do you know who ultimately fulfilled the delivery? My dates for reference: Online application received: 25/08/21 Supporting docs received, processing application: 07/09/21 Estimated issue date: 10/11/21 Passport pr...

Hi everyone! First time finding this thread, as well as a first time passport applicant. To anyone in the USA who's received their passport, do you know who ultimately fulfilled the delivery? My dates for reference: Online application received: 25/08/21 Supporting docs received, processing applicati...

Hi everyone! I have no news on my own application - for anyone who did not see my post a couple of months ago, I received confirmation of my documents being received on October 3rd 2019 - so I've now surpassed two years. Here's hoping the journey isn't much longer. :| I'm writing to ask if anyone's...

For the record I would like to apologise to everyone for how I carried on before. I was really stupid, worrying about my job in Luxembourg and not being able to live in my cottage in Brittany. Ever since I owned it I have never spent more than 90 days there so it is not a huge issue. As for working...

Just back from Ireland including a visit to the DFA in St Stephen's Green in Dublin - which astonishingly IS still open and receiving public enquiries!!! You go not to Number 80, but to Number 79 next door and was just going to ring the buzzer and expect someone to tell me to go away - but oh no, t...

I also got confirm your address 3 weeks ago but never got the congrats email.. seems its all random While it can vary wildly, it took me 36 days (just over 5 weeks) after “address confirmation” to receive the congratulations message. Some people never received a congrats email but still received th...

Hi everyone, Long time lurker, July 2019 applicant. I received my ‘congratulations your certificate is in the post’ email at the end of April 2021 but I’ve yet to receive it. I’m concerned that my documents may have gone astray, especially since i’ve read that some of you have recently received you...

Great to see that post!!! Congrats!!! jgclancy Congratulations dolewhip! I received my email acknowledgement confirmation a couple of weeks before you (7 October 2019) so hoping I’m not too far off from you. I’m still at a loss as to how they process applications :shock: Thank you both! Regarding t...

Hoping that's my local Post Office at least.

Fingers crossed! Barring some unfortunate disaster (of which there have been plenty lately), that certificate will be yours by EOW.

Yes----once it gets in the US postal system then Informed Delivery will show a package will be delivered. It has the Irish tracking number but you can plug that number into the track my package search to get where/when it's been scanned. Mine was accepted in Dublin on Aug 14th 2021/Aug 18th in USA/...

An update to keep everyone informed. June 27, 2019 applicant here. I received my "Congrats you're approved" email on Aug 12 2021. It arrived in US Postal system on Aug 14, 2021 & is being processed. Today-my USPS Informed Delivery account emailed that it's in a Brooklyn NYC processing facility. So ...

Let's hope we see an announcement on the DFA website in early September as has been rumoured will happen. I will be in Ireland then - so excited - never been there before. Congratulations to everyone who's getting some good news - you sure deserve it, waiting c. years. Enjoy! I've also never been, ...

Dolewhip: I'm very happy for you A'nd envious ;( My application was received 3Oct2019, and nothing yet at all. Zero communication since the documents recieved email in October 2019. I got thru to them on passport webchat and John said that the FBR section has been closed from March 2020 and he has ...

After 5+ weeks since the last milestone, excited to share one more update: Application submitted online: 7th October 2019 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation Balbriggan: 24th October 2019 Confirmation of address email: 13th July 2021 (Team 1) Congratulations email: 18th August 2021 Certific...

The timelines here still make absolutely no sense. Why has anyone with a November ‘19 submission been congratulated already (barring pregnancy), while October submissions are waiting for address confirmation? These all seem to be straightforward cases, where no clarification was needed. Why did I (a...

Thank you everyone for sharing your delivery experiences!

Good to know hope's not lost if it arrives while I'm out of town (and of course, I still need the congrats message first).

Well, today has come and gone (at least in terms of Dublin work hours), so I've officially made it into the honorable club of address confirmed 1+ months ago, congratulations pending. Was really hoping those days were behind us, but I'm going to hold out hope my certificate doesn't arrive when I'm ...
