I would be surprised if this were possible. (I also registered in the FBR too late for my children to claim citizenship.) So I would be interested if you can find the answer!

BTW, your grandparents don't need to be naturalized; they are deemed to be Irish citizens already.

I notice that people make posts asking for information on eligibility and details regarding the application process only never to return again. This is unfortunate but might signal that they were successful and so have no further need for the forum. That's a common problem with forums. It would be ...

Gedk66 wrote:Can anyone tell me what is the waiting time for the Foreign Birth Registry to provide certificates after we've applied please?

It depends on where you apply. Last year the London embassy was only taking a few days.

Is your father alive? If yes he should register in Foreign Births Register, and claim his Irish citizenship. He is definitely entitled to it, as the grandchild of a citizen. Then if you have a child that child is also the grandchild of a citizen, and is entitled to register in FBR. This may apply o...

I still think you need all three marriage certificates, if only because it says so here: https://www.dfa.ie/passports-citizenshi ... ign-birth/

It may not seem logical, but neither are the rules about who can be a witness.

My grandmother also changed her date of birth, meaning that her marriage certificate had the incorrect date (age) on it, but it wasn't a problem for FBR. However, she had a rare surname, which might have helped confirm identity. I also supplied all three marriage certificates, although the instructi...

You can find other threads about this: e.g., http://www.immigrationboards.com/irelan ... 40343.html

I did it almost a year ago (through the London embassy). My answers are:

1. No.
2. No.
3. Mine took 15 days.

The medical exam is strict,but that is the only real problem.

The need to be under 35 could also be a real problem.

I forgot to enclose a pre-paid self-addressed royal mail special delivery (or recorded signed for delivery) envelope. I am worrying now if my documents will get lost if returned by Royal Mail 2nd class post. Does anybody know the helpline number to call UKBA to ask if I can pot this envelop to them...

to all who remember me two years ago after a waiting time of 23 months today the brown envelope has arrived cant believe it took that long, No explanation was given !!! I remember you, Mr Hole. Congratulations! I guess that, if they gave an explanation, it would be the usual excuse: "every case is ...

The marriage and death certificate should be easy. She was married in Boston and she died in Boston. My sister has a copy of my father's death certificate. Is a copy good enough, or do I need to send the original? In addition, I have my birth certificate, so this should be fine with connecting fami...

For any of you who have gained "citizenship through descent" in Ireland, would my father's birth certificate stating my grandmother was born in Ireland be enough to register in order to become an Irish citizen? Do I need more than this? Other documents? You also need your grandmother's birth certif...

uktohk wrote:as the link I posted says, only applies to "kids born before the resumption"

I guess that's because the status of "kids born after the resumption" is obvious, so they only spell out the case of "kids born before the resumption"?

jeupsy wrote:Yes, when you apply for a first Irish passport they do require to send the original of your other passport.

That applies to naturalized citizens but is not a universal requirement for a first Irish passport application.

The confusing part is the requirement of " the child was born before the date of resumption; and" (does this mean that after my resumption, any future children will no longer be british citizens by decent?) I don't think so. According to the BNA (14(1)(g)), if you are a British citizen by descent n...

I recently received my FBR certificate but have not yet applied for a passport. I was thinking of traveling on my American passport and applying for an Irish passport once we land. My questions is, can my spouse register for a Stamp 4 with our marriage certificate, FBR certificate, and my American ...

Read the forum before posting.

IPS are very strict regarding filling passport form. It clearly say that all letter and signature should be within box. So I would suggest to fill the application form again as they will not except your form. Than you.hope it help. The OP is asking about Irish passports; nothing to with IPS (UK). B...

The one part of the rule that confused me a little bit was whether or not my father (he passed away in 1995) would have to have registered, thus maintaining a succession of family citizenship? Barnaby, from your post, I gather that since my father would have automatically been a citizen without reg...

I'm sure this question has been asked on here before, and I apologize in advance if I am being redundant, but I am interested in gaining citizenship in Ireland, and I cam upon this rule: How I read it, I am entitled to citizenship is my grandparent was born and raised in Ireland, and I am her biolo...
