I don't see it being a problem. I would send his Irish passport with your application. I didn't think they would find my Grandmother's marriage certificate but they did as long as you know the city they were married in. The passport will be the legal proof you need of birth. Good luck and all the be...
No, it is not. It is a citizenship certificate, not a birth certificate. However, as I said, for practical purposes, an FBR cert only proves the date that someone was registered as an Irish citizen. It doesn't have a photo or signature, so it is possible that this FBR certificate may have been borr...
Unfortunately, no. The FBR certificate, in theory, certifies that you are an Irish citizen by descent. However - the UK authorities will not recognise it, as it is just a a piece of paper to them. To get a NI number, bank account, job, etc, you will need to apply for an Irish passport, as the UK au...
Are you already registered in the FBR? Do you have an extract or printout of that registration? If so you already have a right to reside and work in the UK. Does your future employer particularly need you to prove your status immediately? I do already have my FBR and it is the original copy. My fut...
Proof of residence???? While I have a couple of accounts in the UK I'm not sure they are proof of residency. I have a wife and child her in the UK and have been traveling back and forth from the USA. I happen to be here when my FBR came through. I'm trying to get my right to work done while I'm here...
But you dont only need a proof of citizenship to apply for jobs, get bank account etc. What you need in this situation is a proof of residence and that will get you going for now until you get your Irish passport. How do you end up in the UK? Do you have resident status there? If there is proof of ...
I need proof of Citizenship. I want to use my FBR as proof. I have a job lined up but they need me to start right away. Passport will take 6-8 weeks. I also need a bank statement or payroll slip to fulfill the application requirements.
Do you need proof of I.D to get NI? do you want to use your FBR as that? This is what I mean...........will it be accepted? Why don't you apply for a passport instead? I need proof of Citizenship. I want to use my FBR as proof. I have a job lined up but they need me to start right away. Passport wi...

how will you approach the authorities (in the UK) with a paper/certificate or whatever that guarantees your birth but not nationality? Regards, Hi Malika, I'm not sure I understand your Question. I want to get my national Insurance number, Is my Irish Foreign Birth Registration Certificate enough p...
Hi christine2562, I applied April 2012, In June I got a letter requesting more paperwork. I sent them the requested paperwork the following week and I haven't heard from them since. I have been quoted that it is currently taking 18-24 months to process. The good news is they are not going to process...
After a few e-mails, the San Francisco consulate has informed me that all applications that were accepted by mail prior to the new online process will be processed first. It will still be an 18-24 month long process. This does not make any sense..... I thought this new online application was going t...
That link said as of Sept. 4, 2012 it will no longer accept applications for FBR through the post. I did mine back in late March 2012. I expect that this does not apply to me as I filed mine before Sept. 2012.
Thank you for the thread. I have already read that thread and that is the reason I'm asking the question. That person received there's in eight months while San Francisco is telling me it's an 18-24 month waiting period. I'm wondering why there is such a discrepancy between the two consulates?
I have applied for my FBR thrpought the San Francisco consolate over six months ago with no response. They are unwilling to give me any answers regarding my application. Does anyone know why this process takes so long? Thank you for your input,
