Didnt they include a tracking code? It seems they always send a tracking code when the post it. I heard of people who got registered much, much earlier than the congrats email. Usually on same day of address confirmation, they would have actually entered you into their database
This is insane.. im a pre july 2019 applicant and I see people with 6 months later applications are getting approvals.. this is insane, repeat after me, this is insane
Yes, 30k applications to be cleared. If you never lived in Ireland before, its hard to understand why public servants are so slow and only ramp up when you talk to them in person. Its a common practice in Ireland to delay things.. “why rush” is in their blood.
I can confirm someone is in the FBR and processing stuff- got the good news today. Application submitted online: 7th October 2019 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation Balbriggan: 23rd October 2019 Clarification Request Email: 16/06/21 Clarification Sent: 17/06/21 Confirmation of address ema...
Clarification question: Once my husband is on FBR, can my adult children apply for citizenship? We are going round and round in the family and I would like to hear if someone has gotten their adult children onto the FBR this way. It would be great to have that open to future generations. To him? No...

Just had an email asking for address confirmation.. :o .. (it went into my junk box - soo glad I checked ) Applied in July 2019. Congratulations!! Seems like they are processing only final approvals (where no document handling is happening). At least we sniff work progress. Nowadays I keep my eyes ...
Good to see a progress - although it’s obvious that someone runs through the system where only approval need to be processed as all documents are in the office hence the lack of real work. Im around your time but never got anything (my Application is straight forward and doesnt require verification ...
Wow, this is sad. Out of curiosity, what is the email address they sent to you from so I add it to safe list.
What you can do is to respond to that email/clarification by post saying you received it in spam hence you messed it. Am sure many mentioned the spam story so nothing new to fbr team.
What are you talking about? In english pls. As of today, FBR is still closed and no plans to restart before august. And here is a note from there website: Processing of Foreign Birth registrations is paused as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. Please do not send supporting documentation as these ca...
I saw on twitter (irish passport official account) that the fbr office maaaaay open sometime late in summer when responding to some inquiries. lollololo
Just an update (or lack of it). Applied May 2019 for my kids, documents received May 31, 2019. Got an email on October 19, 2020, demanding I send updated photos within 28 days or they would cancel the application (never mind that I live 3,000 miles away and there is a global pandemic). I sent them ...
Just got my FBR through after 18 months, but it has got me thinking about my kids. . . . I had assumed as my farther was English and my mother was also born in England, but has recently gained Irish citizenship via her Irish parents, whom I also gained my FBR through, that they were not entitled to...
I personally wouldnt come near court unless I get a negative response. Your case now would be taken too personal. Hopefully they keep it professional although I doubt because they tend to delay for unreasonable time and for unnecessary reasons
Dear Friends! I applied FBR through my Irish born grandfather in November 2019. Few days ago I received an email from DFA that now they r currently processing my application. They need new application form and 4 photos witnessed by one of the witnesses listed. That's no problem. But they are saying...
The e-mail I received from them on the 23rd Dec said that the office would be closed during the level 5 restrictions. They said my certificate and documents wouldn't be posted back to me until the office reopens again so I think they are not working. Thanks for the info and fingers crossed you get ...
The Irish government has agreed that from 24 December, Level 5 restrictions will apply nationally and Processing of Foreign Birth registrations is paused again. And people are requested not send supporting documentation as it cannot be processed at this time. I wonder if they still work during that...
Hello, long time lurker! Documents received: 28th August 2019 I am very recently an expectant parent, and finally managed to get through on the webchat today - I followed the link it told me to follow, and waited 50 minutes but finally got someone. "However the very first response to my message exp...
