Well, my grandparent's birth certificate just arrived, ahead of schedule. The Irish register office is much quicker than the UK one it seems! One issue, however: The middle name for my grandfather listed on my father's marriage and birth certificates does not appear on my grandfather's birth certif...

Joey There is a really good US based agency, operating out of Chicago, that deals with Italian and Irish citizenship by descent applications. They claim a 100% success rate with FBR. I can see why some people find that appealing. Sulla, what is the name of the agency in Chicago, please? I’d like to...
Good point on the translation of documents. That is also another advantage of using Denmark....... the marriage certificate is issued in 5 languages, including English. IIRC, ours are in Danish, English, German, French, and Italian. I looked into Gibraltar myself, and found Denmark would be much ea...
thank you for the replies. put off checking until today, fear of answers. all the replies made me realise i forgot a big important thing. i don't even know the name of my grandad. it just never came up, it was made clear he was not a nice person and so he was never spoken about. my nan had remarrie...
You don't need to get married in an English speaking country..... by far the easiest and fastest place to get married in Europe, is Denmark. Just google for "getting married in Denmark", and you will find lots of information, and links. I married my fiance in less than a week after applying for the...
Those still waiting for their certificate I have an update from the FBR after I enquired about how long I will have to wait: Hi James, Presently a printing backlog – printing for applications approved end November going to print now. Expect receipt of documents early Jan 2020 with Christmas posting...
Normally as your husband is exercising EU treaty rights you would follow that process to join him. However, with Brexit looming there has been no determination what rights non-EU spouses of UK nationals residing in Ireland will have under the Common Travel Area which is what will continue to govern ...
You will have to contact your mother as you'll need a current copy of her driver license or passport for your application. Someone posted a very similar situation to yours in the much longer FBR thread you will find in this forum and there were several creative suggestions as to how to get a copy of...
Hello All, Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you all for the information. Finding this forum has definitely been a huge help! Below is my timeline of my application process: - 30/10/18 I submitted my online application and sent over my documents - 6/11/18 I received confirmation documents were re...
This is a duplicate post to yours in the broader EU immigration boards, that's probably the best place to ask this question since you aren't inquiring about Ireland and this is the Ireland immigration specific board.
Is that what you did for not having grandparents marriage certificate? Please, tell me anything else you did. I have a cousin that has that very dilemma. No marriage certificate for grandparents exists due to 1906 San Francisco earthquake. I guess I'll relay this little bit of hope. Congrats...usua...
"Your application for entry into the Foreign Births Register will be approved shortly and a Foreign Birth Registration Certificate and your original documents will be returned to you by registered post, which will require a signature on delivery." Squeeeeeeeeee! I have in fact moved countries since ...
Hello! Was advised to repost here - apologies to anyone who's read this already. I'm new here, driven by desperation to these (hopefully) friendly shores because on Wednesday I got a message that after nine months my FBR application was being processed - yay! Then I read in the message that they ne...
Your spouse may have an issue if they are non-EEA if you fully move your residence to the UK. I think your spouse will need to show proof that you still reside together in Ireland for their visa. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes. The fact that the spouse has a UK spouse visa doesn't mean anything, that is a nationally issued document not an EU one. Though in practicality, as there's not a hard border, the chances of them being stopped for immigration reasons is slim.
Hi All! Since we're starting to see some January applications approved I thought I would proactively update my address with the FBR section since I have now relocated from the US to the UK. I got a reply back within about an hour advising the following. Which I guess means they haven't touched my ap...

Are you both British citizens? There's no immigration process, if so. I suppose that conviction may cause you issues when job hunting or looking for housing if they care about something which happened so long ago.
Since the link seems not to be working, here's the text of the article. People born in Northern Ireland remain British citizens according to the law, even if they identify as Irish, tribunal judges have determined. In 2017, NI woman Emma De Souza won a case against the Home Office after it deemed sh...
"In its ruling, the tribunal judges determined that despite the Good Friday Agreement giving people the right to identify as British or Irish or both, it did not supersede the 1981 British Nationality Act, which sets out the terms of citizenship for people born in the UK, including in Northern Irela...
This is a standard template which even usually be given to those successful applicants who are not entitled to use e gates . Interestingly I believe it was you who told me on the other post that it was likely an old letter or for people who had previous immigration issues, I believe. :D Also, by ru...
