Congrats!! I received my passport and card last week. ( Feb2020 submission. The passport took 4 weeks which was pretty incredible. I had a question I hadn’t thought of until now. When I land in a country with my Irish passport does that country only see my Irish details so it will look like it’s my ...

Passport paperwork received today. I have been given an estimate of 3rd October.

Does this sound accurate? 4 weeks?

This may be a silly question, but I've heard reference to it. I submitted my first passport application recently after FBR approval. Are applications prioritized based on citizenship sources? In other words are passport applications of FBR citizens prioritized below other citizens? Doesn't really m...

Hi there, I need some advice as I made a mistake on the online application form! I've gathered all my documents, I'm seeing the lawyers in a couple days to get everything notarized, BUT I just noticed I wrote the wrong answer for my mother's mother's (i.e., grandmother's) surname at birth; I wrote ...

Does anyone know how long it usually takes between the confirmation of address email and the processed/printed cert email? I'm a Feb 2020 applicant, and I finally received the confirmation of address email July 26th. I responded the next day confirming my address was correct, but since then nothing...

16th August I got the email to say it’s been processed this morning and to await the next email on when the cert is printed and dispatched.

thank you all for the relies, I guess I was being hopeful, but my wife is applying for her Italian citizenship along with our daughter and maybe my son in Italy. I will have Italian residency while waiting on my FBR to go through. I received my notice of my FBR application being received on April 2...

Does anyone know if they will be able to give you a status on your application if you call the office? I submitted mine August 2020, received my document acceptance email October 2020, so I was curious if I could do this. I've been lurking on this thread for quite some time now and since it's been ...

I was wondering, when my name is in the FBR that would signify that I am a Irish citizen born in another country , correct? If so could my adult son apply for his Irish citizenship seeing he was born to me? unfortunately, I don't believe it works that way. According to their docs, you have to be on...

Congratulations. 30 months is a looooong time wait. I admire your patience and hope you enjoy your new citizenship! Thank you. I’m not sure I was very patient towards the end though.😝 If it’s of interest they call and ask you to clarify a couple of details. They said congratulations and then sent m...

Close to month 30!!! 😭 The last week has been really tough. I think it’s because it could be so close. No news yet though. Stay strong Feb2020 crew! 👊 Don't give up JohnFBR!! My application was not straightforward. I had been adopted in a closed adoption and the state would only issue a copy of my ...

You said the Irish Gov was discouraging people applying. I said the Irish Government were encouraging people not to apply until the contents (and new citizen rights) of the brexit deal were fully known They were encouraging people not to rush at the time, and advised potential applicants that nothi...

Two very different things. Brexit has nothing to do with FBR. If Brexit has nothing to do with FBR then someone should definitely tell Simon Coveney, he mentions it as the most important factor, causing the backlog in every update (next to covid) Due to the complex nature of the Foreign Birth Regis...
