sorry forgot to post here, we got the passport after 15 working days excluding weekends as estimated before. so you better make your plans according to this number at least for now. it can change between 13-15 working days depending on the season, but i didnt see any shorter. all the best and good ...

no, excluding weekends.
so take it as complete 3 weeks.
however in an emergency you always have option to go to the passport office in person to get an accelerated process

nope it still says the same thing, unfortunately, has been registered etc.
so make your plan according to full 15 working days, at least.

my kid's application is still showing the same information, and 3 days over the shown issue date. i am expecting to receive it next week, hopefully. mine took 15 working days to get, when i applied around last May Status: Application No. XXXXXXX. Received on 10/09/2014 and has been registered. Issue ...

yeah that's pity, i can understand the frustration. it depends on the first letter. most of the time they just create an application ref number and send applicant a letter saying that "we received but havent fully examined it yet." so, people better leave couple of extra days after fulfilling 5 years

yes thats correct, they accept the application day as the day that the papers approved by solicitor etc.
and this legislation or whatever called says that it has to be 5 years, not one less, therefore they are strict about this number.

your friend has to apply again.

i would recommend you not to trust the shown ISSUE DATE in the system, if it says 6th, you should expect it to be 10th or later date. my kids application is still showing 23rd and still registered with the system.

@csk321, any update on your kid's cert?

there is a lot of information in this thread and thats all people can say. i think you should read them carefully.

this is from ryanair's web site THE ONLY FORMS OF TRAVEL DOCUMENTS ACCEPTED ON RYANAIR FLIGHTS ARE: A valid passport A valid National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country.

my post was about my son's application.
i cannot comment on your situation, as i dont have experience with that.
best option is sending an email to the passport office or calling them and asking them directly.

yeah no worries i will let you know.

you need birth cert of your kid, filled form (witnessed at a garda station etc), 4 recent photo, your irish passport or cert of naturalisation (i sent my passport), and i also added a utility bill.

i think thats all.

i recently sent my son's passport application. it says Status: Application No. XXXXXXX. Received on 10/09/2014 and has been registered. Issue Date: 23/09/2014 so expected date is 23rd but it can delay couple of more days which happened to me. if you have documentation you still have option to apply ...

so some answer to ALL who are going to ask the same question in this forum! Q:can i travel after sending gnib card? A:YES YOU CAN AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A VALID RE-ENTRY VISA Q:can i travel after submitting my gnib card, but my passport is not valid? A: NO YOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITHOUT A PASSPORT Q:can i ...

a friend of mine travelled to the UK by ferry+bus using his cert. and he told me that he produced his cert at the port when he was asked for passport. after some checks he was free to go, maybe luckily. BUT it depends on the customs officer. they may not accept it. so if you can take the risk there ...

if you are lucky they will post it via registered post within 3 weeks, if you are not like me it might take 6 weeks after posting the payments etc.

why did you send your documents for your mum?

if your current company sends you to another country story might be different but short answer is NO, you cannot work without permission from that country

nope i cant, I dont know his exact dates.

for your second question people said here (and also a friend of mine received his) that it would be registered post, so you have to sign to collect it.

to my knowledge and experience, you need a steady and enough salary rather than bank balance, but of course having savings could help.

you need either a valid re entry visa or your irish passport or an approved ID. if you try with the others you might find yourself in a trouble. that certificate is not for travelling or not an ID.

Which address is indicated in the approval letter? you should send it to that address only.
i sent mine to
Shay Fitzgerald, Dept of Justice & Equity, PO BOX 12079, Dublin 1.
but yours might be different.

my wife got her invite this morning.
good luck to all
