Hi Everyone, My application with supporting documentation was received Aug. 15. I haven’t heard anything since. Some of us seem to be around the same timeframe now. I’ll skip e-mailing them since that doesn’t seem to be efficient. I’m going to give them a call tomorrow and see what information I ca...
I submitted my FBR in August via the embassy in London. On 28-08-18, I received an email stating my application had been received and processing would take up to 6 months. On 17 December I began to get a little impatient so completed a request for an update via the DFA online contact form. To date ...
Sulla; I have not heard anything from Dublin. Yes, my application was received in Dublin a 1 or 2 days after Michael123. Hoping for good news soon. Application recieved on Aug 14 was processed last week. Application received 7 days later on Aug 21 will be processed in Mid Feb, Liams application rec...
Yes, I mentioned others were posting a turn around time of 4.5 months and that I am almost at 5. His reply was only that I should not expect anything until Mid Feb
I think they are only quoting the 6 month times as a standard.
Any suggestions? I don't think there is anything you can do except wait. They do still say it may take up to six months. I guess it may be possible that they have a high volume of applications since Brexit isn't going very smoothly. You could call. But that may just tell you if you are in the FBR, ...
Tom, did you submit 2 or 4 photographs for the FBR? Two with the FBR application, and four with the passport application (two of which were returned with my passport). Interestingly, my FBR photos were taken at a CVS, and the passport photos by a professional photographer. The CVS photos were bette...
Well, then I think two will be fine then. There is always conflicting information! Where in the world are you from anyway? Boston, Massachusetts USA here. Yes, I think that the passport requires 4
Pretty sure, almost positive, my application online was already submitted prior to this change. Interesting how they just change things willy nilly. I applied about 4 days ago...that’s how new this change is. When I get home I will verify that it was 2 photos. I have my printed application at home,...
Does anyone have any timescales for passport applications?? zippy12 DFA states that first time applications take at least four weeks. If you submit an application to a consulate or embassy, they perform some initial checks before forwarding it to Dublin. My timeline is a few months old, so things m...

I just realized I only sent two passport sized photos with my fbr application. I just read that I needed 4 in total. Ugh I feel sick. After reading this, I went to the FBR site, it says 4 required. This must be new, When I applied in Aug it said they required 2 Maybe this is the new training / why ...
Michael123 I am sure that your FBR E-Mail will be coming soon and your long wait is nearly at an end. I was actually, a mite surprised that my notification arrived before yours. Yes, I applied first, but indirectly via an embassy. Yours was direct. You would imagine yours should be faster. However,...
Hey shoileygal You don’t need to continue with the FBR process if you already have an Irish passport as you are already an Irish citizen. If I were you I’d contact the DFA and explain your situation to see if you can get your money back! Thank you for verifying that, Brawn. I think I will call them...

Congratulations 🎈 Thank you for the notification! I am exactly 7 days behind you (8/21). I hope to hear something soon. On a side note, I applied for my US passport on 12/28. I selected regular standard service with the estimated wait time was quoted as 4-6 weeks. I figured since it was not a renewa...

My 2 Applications end with 7884 and 7888 so we ‘should’ receive our information from Dublin about the same time as your cousin.
I will let you know when we hear anything.
Good Luck to all those waiting!
Tom, Did they keep your FBR Cert during the passport application process? Yes. They kept all the documents associated with my passport application and returned them with my Irish passport. Tom, Nothing here yet. As of today, 140 days ... or 20 weeks ... or 4 months & 18 days Any suggestions?
Brawn, Any news? Updates? Hey michael Nothing yet. I’m at my 6 monthiversary today :-) my application was confirmed as received on the 2nd July. My application was forwarded for approval on the 9th November so I imagine any day now I should hear something. Good luck! Brawn, any news?
StephenF & james_mcfc, I'm very near your own dates and would like to know where in the UK you applied through? Hi Stephen I am on the Isle of Wight and I applied through the embassy in London I am pretty sure everyone in the UK has to do that. It does seem to take a lot longer if your applying...
The chances of you obtaining that is slim and it would be a very long wait. Some FBR applicants have waited over a year when there has been concrete proof. Forst you would need to gather all the documents and file some sort of letter. The documents cost can add quickly and the chances are slim.
