Applied for my Passport today. I was told that I would be able to track it in about 3 weeks. Being able to track this is so much more reassuring than the unknown waiting of the FBR process. It usually takes longer to even show up in the tracker. I applied on July 5, waited 4 weeks to Show in tracke...

[quote=usczkat post_id=1817339 time=1566596742 user_id=218558] All I can say is I'm so bummed that it is a year now. Mine should be straight forward. 2 grandparents born in Ireland. All certificates and verifications completed, fees paid, excitement at the prospect of hearing at 6 months... came and...

My certificate came in the mail today! I am officially an Irish citizen!!! 12 months to the day of them receiving
my application in Dublin!

Laurie

Congratulations!!

Did you get your passport application ready?

Your letter and certificate, was it signed by a male
With first initial of T?

Actually it is not a “right” under any international law or UN directive and certainly not under Irish Law. Check your entitlement, yourself. Under global, para global and Irish law. Very simple. Good day to you. The word “entitled” as used by the DFA, suggests to me that it is a right if one is el...

Hi Michael, Congratulations on finally getting your FBR! I am sorry that it took so long for you. I guess they just got really busy with Brexiteers and the like. I think I was just really lucky with my timing. I've only looked at the FBR discussion a few times in the last few months. Frankly, I got...

I totally understand that between Brexit and Trump, DFTA is wildly overrun. Has DFA or anyone else in the government ever officially suggested a link between Brexit or Trump and increased FBR applicants? This has been conjecture of people here at the least. But have there been any statements from t...

This morning I received an email from the FBR office saying you will soon be added to the FBR. Please confirm your mailing address by replying ! Is this real? I can’t believe it!😭😭 Laurie After you are added, you will get email same day.. then 2 weeks to delivery of FBR certificate. I suggest that ...

With all the recent Aug applications being approved, I feel like we are all alumni now! Wr should somehow keep in touch independently of this board! Maybe meet in Dublin for a pint?

Then I can’t track this either!

Can’t track it, huh?

Michael I have not seen you around for a while. I just want to ask if your application has shown up in the passport tracking system yet and what estimated date you are being given. I hope this is going well for you. After the FBR process delays you experienced, you deserve some luck. Got a text fro...

Your bank manager will have a card

Sulla: how long before it showed in the tracker?

Haven’t checked in for sometime but just a quick update. Today, I went to the Boston consulate to hand deliver my passport application. My documents were looked over, copied and my original supporting documents including my FBR certificate were given back to me. Was also told that the passport track...

A little update on mine! I live in the Netherlands and am a British citizen. Posted my documents to the Irish embassy in The Hague just after new year; have to date not heard anything, no confirmation etc. I phoned the embassy today; they confirmed that my application is being processed and that em...

What I find really strange is if I view this forum on my phone where I'm not logged into my account, I can see all the attachments and dates but when I'm logged into my account on my PC, I can't! :roll: New users can’t see attachments, but unregistered users can. By not being logged in on either de...

My cousin Donna came home from her trip today to find her FBR package waiting for her, A neighbor signed for delivery and held it until she came home. She had her passport photos done during her trip as I told her of my delivery. Ill be picking her up soon for the 3pm appointment we have with a Prie...

I cannot view the cert, if there is a way please let me know. I have a message thst says I am not allowed to view. Still waiting... 🙏😊 For new users you just need to log *out* to see the picture Well I'll be! That is rather hilarious!! I logged out, and I can see the cert! Even more exciting! Thank...

Ironic, unregistered guests have more privlages than registered new users, lol.

Good observation!

Yes, you are a new user and that is why the images are not available to you. In addition, as a new yaer you do not have access to private messages and the “contact” button is disabled for your account. I would post my email or ask you to post your but that is prohibited here. Sorry. Im sure you aren...

Glad to see you got it Michael. I notice that they have added a photo in the top left. This replaces the holographic harp that my own contains in that area. Actually, that is my favorite part of the FBR certificate. I have always liked holograms. I assume since Brawn also mentioned his contained a ...
