Just a quick update. AAI very efficiently got my entry in RICA already and invited to apply for cert no hassle with the court order at all! So I'll whizz them 20E in the new year and then probably take this over to the passport application timescales thread for the remaining step. Many thanks for a...

Got the copy court order finally. It's the same as I would have printed from SAR request except I have the official stamp because it came from HMCS. Not stamped but I mean I have a cover letter that a judge authorised the disclosure (of my own records)
Hi guys, yes corky has been most helpful and I take his advice. It's much appreciated. Done the stat dec already and RICA form. Just waiting for court 2 week backlog on sending copy orders. I also got a copy of it from social services by doing a SAR request but not risking sending that as they will ...
Yes I do corky, have them all grandparents marriage, parents marriage, grandmothers birth and death, fathers birth quite the collection! Court request sent off now so i'll update when I get that back and go for RICA so anyone reads this later has a idea of timescales.
Just to confirm corky i've done exactly as you said and hope you had a good holiday! While waiting for FBR to return certs i've found the court (it moved, twice, since 1984), been sent a A64 form to fill out. That's going off for the court order certified copy. The lady I spoke to on email seems to ...
Hi all! Nine days ago, I sent both applications of myself and sibling (in one envelope) 1st Class tracked from London to the Embassy in Ireland (to the address printed on the FB1A form, no post code). HOWEVER, I received a notification that it's been returned back to us, as it "failed customs" & th...
No problem enjoy your holidays! Here's what they said and below what I said to prompt the reply.

As a result, you are not required to apply through the Fore...
So far so good email back today with what we knew. s25 adoption act I'm already a Irish citizen. They are posting me certs back and invite me to apply direct for passport once I receive them. Also when I receive it I'm to contact them again to have FBR cancelled and a refund issued! Wasn't expecting...
Hi corky, Well yes I meant skip a step as in not wait 9 months for FBR. The mission now is getting them to read their emails to get it cancelled and all my certificates back. I don't have a birth grandparent from Ireland that I KNOW of but my birth mother does have a Gaelic surname so it is possible...
Thanks for the reply, tumble dryer would be the nice way to put it, id describe it more like a furnace! Was my adoptive grandmother (born on the island) in this case, but yes her son, my dad, adopted me in the UK after they/she had moved as as a family. (History unclear but she married a British Nav...
Good evening all! Apologies for making a new long thread for this headache but through all the reading I have done and found a closed thread which was somewhat helpful however I thought it might be good to have own for anyone else in this situation in future to hopefully find, be guided and not get ...
