Email received on 19 October: ‘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.‘ Two things; I assume t...
Woah Bernie2601! My son’s application and email acknowledgement in July 2019 were virtually on the same days as yours. Hopefully, he should be hearing any day now too. One question I have is; because my son is overseas, he completed a passport application without dating it in order that I can submit...
Can anyone who's successfully received their passport confirm whether I have to send my original passport in with my application? Or is a certified copy ok? On the ID verification form it says, "Please note: If resident outside of the State, certified copies of ID are accepted. A copy can be certif...
Fantastic news from you all. I also had the same issues regarding my Irish mother’s birth never having been registered. My son is applying through descent. I had her baptism certificate and applied to have her birth ‘late registered’ The application form had to be witnessed by a JP or similar. Once ...
Does anyone know what happens to an existing application when one of the people whose documents you used dies? I am applying through my Irish grandfather, who unfortunately will likely pass away within the next month or so. Does this mean I will also need to submit a death certificate, since his dr...
My son has done a boo boo. He’s driving up from Spain and has left his U.K. passport at a hotel 7 hours ago (hotel have confirmed its safe!) He's now overnighting in France with the intention of catching an evening ferry tomorrow back to the U.K. His dilemma is; does he plough on in the hope that he...
At the risk of upsetting Michael123, I’ve got a sort of passport enquiry... I hope I haven’t boo booed by being too efficient. As my son lives overseas and his address and post in that particular country can be unreliable, he’s applied using his home address in the U.K. and asked me to deal with the...
There does seem to be an inconsistency in acknowledgement receipt emails too. I received mine within 3 days of posting the hard copy documentation (from U.K. to Dublin) I see that others don’t get one for several months or even at all! I’ll admit it was a relief to be assured that everything had def...
Please could you add my son’s FBR Sulla too? Applied online 10 July 2019 Posted 15 July 2019 to Dublin from U.K. Email received 19 July 2019. His should be a very straightforward, non query application but we shall see. My son is claiming descent, through me, from my Irish born mother. All documenta...
The long wait starts today for my son. He applied online last Wednesday (10/7) and posted complete documentation tracked delivery today. His shouldn’t be a complex one, descent through me from my Irish born mother. The DFA might not appreciate it but I inserted the documentation relating to each one...
I apologise if this has been asked before but are, in anyone’s experience, straightforward applications being processed quicker i.e. ones with a clear paper trail any faster than more complex ones. Or, does it appear that they are just working systematically through the pile?
My understanding is that had you applied and received Irish citizenship before your children were born, yes, they would have automatically had it too. Unfortunately, it can’t be done retrospectively unless their parent or grandparent was actually born in Ireland. I’ve not been able to find anywhere ...
To give an idea of dates time/turnaround, I posted my completed application form and supporting documents on 8/6. I received a letter confirming that mum’s birth had now been formally registered together with instructions on how to apply online for a copy of her birth certificate on 21/6, so not too...
I apologise if this question about FBR has been asked before, but I couldn’t find an answer. How long has the applicant got to submit printed application form and supporting documentation after completing the online form? My son is overseas but will be visiting the U.K. in mid July. I’m hoping that ...
I’ve started this separate thread - if it’s ok - about LRB because my mothers birth was never registered, although she has got a baptism certificate from Cork. I’ve applied, with supporting documentation and am awaiting a reply. If it’s any help, I was supplied with a contact number from the GRO Ros...
I got a response from this email address: gro@groireland.ie Late Registration Section General Registrar’s office Government Buildings Convent Rd Roscommon Co. Roscommon F42 VX53 I hope this helps. Thank you for the contact info. I did send an email to that specific email address, so maybe I will ne...
Not sure how long Late registrations take? Hopefully, not as long as I’m anticipating for my FBR! I applied on 4th December and had an email to confirm the birth had been registered on 11th Jan. So this was over the Christmas period and they had also had to ask me a question by email (to confirm my...
Has anyone been successful for FBR with just a baptismal certificate and a letter from the DFE confirming that a search was made and no civil record of birth was found? To avoid complication, I’m thinking of applying for Late Registration anyway but I’d be curious to know others experiences. In the...
