Hi Sulla,

I'm on your (extremely helpful) list as a Sept 2018 applicant (27th). Quick update: I received my certificate a couple of weeks ago, it's dated 11th Sept. Cheers

Thanks for checking in and letting us know, Duly added in.

Just received my confirmation of address email. My timeline: Submitted application to London on 4 November 2018. Application receipt confirmed 12 March 2019 Email requesting confirmation of address 8 October 2019. FBR Cert pending. Passport pending. Any idea how quick FBR certificates are taking to...

:?: :?: :?: Members don't have the privilege of the PM facility until they have contributed 30 posts on the forum. Hi casa, I don't have PM functionality and I have in excess of 300 posts. I have never used the PM function on any forum, so it's no major loss. However, it would be nice to have.

Updated list version with new additions. I am off to St. Petersburg for a week, before it gets unbearably cold. Edinburgh has not exactly been warm. I never used to mind the weather, but now as I am getting older (40 soon) I find that I just can't take the Scottish cold as well as I once did. I've b...

Hi Sulla I am on your list (Sonic Boom) as one of the August 2018 applicants (28th) - I was added to FBR 30th August 2019. Passport application now going to off to Cork - see how long that takes! Donal Thanks for the update Sonic. Yes, Cork seems to be the best place to sent UK based passport appli...

...We are currently pregnant with our first child and would like our child to have Irish citizenship, like their parents. After researching how to obtain Irish citizenship for the newborn, via the foreign birth registration process (the baby will be born in the UK)... Have you checked out what the ...

Thanks everyone. Helpful to know about email notifications. Every time I see the mail man coming I hear a soft lilting Celtic fiddle as I wait in eager anticipation for my certificate. By the looks of the timescales so far, I could be waiting well into next year. Does anyone have any data yet on av...

I am happy to say that stage one of “Project Failte” is complete, I finally got to add the red book to the case. I had this case made in Ireland over a year ago when I started collecting the FBR documents. That's a very nice looking passport cover Michael. I don't go in for them much myself as immi...

With so many people getting emails asking for confirmation of address and many getting this on their birthday I checked my emails on Monday in anticipation. Nothing! So today I called the FBR and got through quickly. The lady asked the date of my application and I said May 2018. She said you mean 2...

I've read through the whole thread and not found anything, so hoping someone can help. My Father was born in Ireland My sister and I were born in England and obtained our Irish passports last year Our children (3 of mine and 2 of hers) are going to apply to go on the Foreign Birth Register My daugh...

Hi all! I used to be on a previous thread regarding fbr but I guess it must have been taken down.

Great to read about so many recent approvals. I was approved today! I think it would have happened a few weeks ago but for a few questions about documents. But very happy and relieved. Great service from Dublin once my case was allocated to a case officer. So, I'm about 53 weeks from original recei...

Hi - Found this thread last week and it has brought me to the realisation that it's unlikely I will have my Irish passport in my hand by end of June 2020 before I'm due to go on holiday and that I will have to renew my British one! Both me and my cousin have applied to be placed onto the FBR. He ap...

On a related topic, going through the supporting documents which were returned with my certificate, I notice I'm missing the certified copies of my passport, and my mother's passport. Has anyone else had these retained too? Slightly frustrating as my siblings are planning to make their own applicat...

*UPDATE* I posted back in June. Brit in the Netherlands here. Posted my FBR application to the Irish Embassy here in the Netherlands early January this year. Called today to see if I can get an update. My application was approved last week! "Congratulations, you're now an Irish citizen! " the perso...

Irish FBR is the core topic and the only topic for discussion, understandable. So in the future, I should expect not to see any Irish Passport discussion or other questions about naturalization. Hi Michael The FBR is the core topic but it doesn't hurt if anyone on here mentions about the progress o...

When he completed and had his FBR witnessed, in order to be well organised, he also got his passport application completed and additional photos also signed by the same official - bar dating them - at the same time. This was, optimistically, so that should his certificate come back whilst he was aw...
