Hi all! I am going to soon be posting my Dad’s passport application (it will be his first Irish passport and we are applying from the UK). Are we able to send this tracked by Royal Mail now or is it recommended to send another way? Apologies – I appreciate this isn’t exactly a FBR question (still wa...

From what I understand it is not needed if there was no namechange however I did send my Dad's marriage certificate. The reason for this is because we already had it and he did not mind me sending it.. I would recommend sending it if you can get hold of it easily as it is just another way to proof ...

Hi All, New to the forum as I have a question about the FBR. I'm applying for Irish Citizenship through my Irish Grandfather and was wondering: do I have to include his marriage certificate? The FBR Application Form states that it wants a marriage certificate if the person in question was married y...

Hi all! I am probably worrying for no reason but have just had a look at the documents I sent and noticed there is a slight discrepancy. On my Irish grandma’s birth certificate, it says her mother’s name was Maggie whereas on the marriage certificate it says Margaret. All other details seem to match...

Probably an impossible question to answer but... I am a Sept 22 applicant - what are the predications that I will hear back sometime next year? I know the waiting time is still 2 years officially but I have seen lots of 2021 applications receive address confirmation/congratulations email. I know the...

Wow, that's amazing! They are really getting through the applications at a good speed now. Hope it continues

I am in a Facebook group of people who are applying through the FBR and I just saw an application approved from April 2021!!! Can't quite believe it.. still a long wait for me probably as I am a Sept 22 applicant - but very encouraging

Very encouraging they have jumped from Feb/March 2020 to May 2020 in the space of a a couple of weeks... I do wonder how many people applied during lockdown days? When did they properly reopen? The bulk in Feb and March 2020 seems to almost be over. Yay! I have a long long wait though (Sept 2022.......

Hi all! I sent my application last Thursday and have had a notification from Royal Mail this morning that my parcel has been delivered. Wahoo! Nothing to confirm yet from the FBR office yet but at least it is there.. I hope the wait times decreases once they get through the Covid/Brex*t backlog but ...

Hiya everyone! I have been following this forum for a while and have recently obtained all the necessary documents needed to be put onto the FBR.. wahoo! I am a bit confused about the witness section though. I have two potential witnesses – a police officer and uni lecturer. The police officer is n...
