23/09 : Application received
11/10 : Supporting documents received. Processing and verifying.
14/12 : Estimated issue date.
22/12 : Additional documents requested. (Original documents already in Dublin and confirmed via webchat, but still had to send in replacements)
22/12 : Replacements sent to Balbriggan , tracked and signed for from UK.
04/01 : Additional documents received. Verifying documents.
07/01 : Original documents returned
08/03 : New estimated issue date.

Now that I have my original documents returned, it is annoying that I was requested on 22/12 for additional information. I got my birth certificate, passport and 2 forms of ID back, so obviously they had been scanned and received. Yet on 22/12 they asked me to send this in again, which has now delayed my estimated date until 08/03.

* Passport tracking showing an error saying that my application number doesn't exist
* Confirmed via webchat that documents arrived and that application was running, despite the above error. Agent mentioned that estimate date is April 8th.

Tracker has also not been updated since my documents were delivered (as of 17.02.2022). I have contacted the passport office via chat and have been told that they have received my documents on 07.02.2022 and my application is now being processed with an estimated date of 13.04.2022.

I think there is an issue with the tracker now that it does not get updated but the application is being processed.

Estimated* issue date 13/01/2022

Processing application.
Your application is being processed

09/11/2021 Processing application
We have received your supporting documents. We are now verifying these documents.

29/10/2021 Alert
We have received your application. You must submit your supporting documents to proceed with the application.

Any suggestions folks ?

My original documents are blocked & tried calling/web-chat multiple times - they have no clue, other than we are processing your application; all we know what is shown on tracker; if any update you will see on tracker. That's it.
I really need my original documents back for number of things here.

ALMOST 4 MONTHS NOW

+3 weeks documents processing time: anyone else experiencing +3 weeks for documents to be accounted as processed (received)?

My husband sent everything on Jan.27, Anpost confirmed the delivery on Jan. 31st. The tracker doesnt work for him (same for me) but on the chat the info is that his documents must be on a pile, waiting to be processed. I sent all the same day and it was processed 2 weesks ago and have an estimate delivery date already.

Estimate date was April 08 but passport arrived today, March 10th.
Original documents not delivered yet.

Hi SeanDub,

Was the tracker updated before you received your passport?

March 9th, 2022-Naturalisation certificate received
March 9th, 2022- Online passport application made, documents requested sent via An Post
March 10, 2022- Application received

Estimated date of issuing: May 5th, 2022

My questions are...
1. For those who applied in 2022, how long did it take to get your non-Irish passport/supporting documents back?
2. Did your esimated issuing date ever get pushed back? I am to go on holiday later in May, my first time out of the country in two years.
