Just got a reply from the person processing my application. It’s approved and is in the queue for printing. Standard spiel about Brexit delay etc etc, but is good to finally here that it is due to be printed and has been approved. Congrats Valo especially on navigating the estranged parent issues! ...

That sounds very odd. Not one I've heard of before. The thing is, since FBR is on the basis of a grandparent, you'd very likely I'm guessing absolutely 100% need a birth certificate for that grandparent you are claiming on behalf of. I'd defo appeal it if you can though. Also, just out of curiosity...

Today, my two children received their emails asking for address confirmations. They mailed shared documents for their two applications in one envelope. No guarantee of successful application is promised for either one; do they always say that? Applications submitted online: 04 Jan 2022 Docs receive...

Do they usually give tracking numbers when they dispatch the passport, card and the original documents? My passport book has been dispatched today but I can't find any tracking info on the page. Yes, but it takes a few days for the tracking info to populate. Wait a few days, it should show up. Just...

Yes, but it takes a few days for the tracking info to populate. Wait a few days, it should show up.

For those that have received a congratulatory email, but have yet to receive their certificate, are you still able to apply for a passport? Also I believe there is a form FBR citizens need to send off to Dublin after their online passport application. Can anyone share this with me? I can’t find it,...

Got my confirmation of address email on the 14th Dec, and have heard nothing since! Starting to get a little anxious about it, I won't lie. I wonder what's taking so long!

More than likely it's just due to the holidays and vacations etc.

Just received the address check email for my application submitted in the middle of last January. Application submitted online: 18 Jan 2022 Docs received mail: 26 Jan 2022 Request to confirm address: 12 Jan 2023 Confirmation of entry to FBR: Certificate received: OMG, your docs rec'd was the day be...

On Dec 9th the person working my app told me I was approved and in the queue for printing. Exactly one month later, this morning, I got an email from noreply@ daft.ie: Application for Foreign Birth Registration xxxxxxxxxx Approved Congratulations, your application for Irish citizenship through entr...

As someone who had the documents received email in late Dec-2021, I've been watching this thread and my emails like a hawk this past few weeks - finally got my address check email this morning and have updated the sheet. Docs received: 23-Dec-2021 Address check: 6-Jan-2023 Wow you're in the "just o...

A rather delayed update!! I’m finally Irish!!! Online application - 2 September 2020 Doc received confirmation email - 16 September 2020 Address confirmation - 4 November 2022 Congratulations email - 15 December 2022 Documents received - Pending So just one day shy of 2 years 3 months (27 months) f...

Thanks...I've tried this at home but the photos weren't being accepted. I think they were too dark and when I used extra lights the PassportOnline website didn't like the shadows. This is why I'm looking for a professional shop to get it done...unless there are other suggestions for doing at home. ...

I've received my Foreign Birth Registration Certificate and I'm looking to apply online. I live in the USA...any ideas on who offers passport photo services that include digital photos? I did mine at a Fedex office. I had to pay a little extra because they put the digital versions on a thumb drive ...

I've received my Foreign Birth Registration Certificate and I'm looking to apply for my Irish Passport online. I live in the USA...any ideas on who offers passport photo services that include digital photos that can meet Ireland Passport requirements? I live in California. I had mine done at a Fede...

The documentation says to send our foreign passport "if we have it" with our application for an initial Irish passport. As we have some travel coming up (quite a bit of it) and will be out of the country for a while, we didn't want to risk not getting our US passports back before the travel starts....

Probably an impossible question to answer but... I am a Sept 22 applicant - what are the predications that I will hear back sometime next year? I've seen November and December 2021 applications get their confirmation of address email on here so I'd wager there is a decent chance you'll hear back in...

I had difficulty finding a notary who would certify it! Two declined and said they only witnessed signatures. Did not want the responsibility of certifying that the passport copies were true copies of the original even when I showed then the actual passport and the copies. Wanted nothing to do with...

Hurrah, almost at journey's end after receiving a system email from the DFA today. Online application: 28.08.2020 Posted: 28.08.2020 Delivered to Balbriggan: 02.09.2020 Email acknowledgement of receipt: 03.09.2020 Address confirmation email: 21.10.2022 Approval email: 13.12.2022 "Congratulations, y...

My naturalization certificate has my old address. The proof of address and proof of name I submitted in my first time passport application have my new address. Will this discrepancy be a problem? I got my passport recently, after doing FBR not naturalization, but I don't think they're comparing add...

it was approved on 24th October, had subsequently passed through another processing stage and is now queued for certificate printing. I was further told that they have limited printing capacity and their systems cannot indicate when the certificate might be issued That is odd. Maybe they have incre...

Sorry if I am repeating but I'm struggling to find the right answer through the search function: I'm sending a first-time application from the EU but don't want to send my original passport due to work travel commitments. I know that they won't necessarily accept a certified copy, but I will try an...

(using different names) Hey all - Wondering if anyone might be able to help with this (issue explained below) I spoke with General Register Office who informed me that 'legal adoption was not introduced in Ireland until 1952 and adoption records only start in January 1953'. So there is no adoption ...

They create unnecessary bureacracy (e.g. updated photos) for no reason I'm sure you're aware that child's appearance can change a lot in two years. You're may be unaware that the photo becomes part of your FBR cert. So that's why they're asking for updated photos. I am not aware t of FBR certificat...
