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 ...

Here is copy of the cover letter, Personal info has been blanked out. The FBR Cert picture is too large to attach.

Got it! Moderator edit : attachment deleted Michael123, kindly repost the attachment and make sure ALL names, addresses and Irish FBR official details are fully blacked out and redacted completely. I could clearly make out your full name and address and you had not redacted the Irish officials name...

Got it!

Just a matter of time...

Fortunately, the Irish post is very prompt, The USPS: not so much. I have a friend at the USPS who provided an absentee door label giving permission to leave package without signature in the event of Monday delivery, I was also prepared to stay home from work to sign.. either way. I got lucky having...

That's fantastic Michael. If it arrives tomorrow (actually today in my time zone) that will be record time for recent deliveries outside the UK / Ireland. They still use other methods to send things to China and these are much slower than the one used to get mail to you in the US. You should be int...

I will definitely have it tomorrow! Its only about 30 mins away!

Based on past experiences, certified email from Dublin arrives in the USA the day after it is mailed and generally takes 4-9 days for US postal to deliver. Would love to see it before the 4th of July as it is a holiday and my mothers bday. My birthday is this coming weekend, I get it Michael, I am ...

Its on the move! Just left New York and heading this way! Maybe I could have it tomorrow or Monday!

Michael, how did you get the tracking number for your certificate? Was this provided via email by the DFA? Haven't seen this before, hope it happens for my certificate sometime soon although some have mentioned here that certificates to UK get sent in standard post. I have the US postal service app...

Anyone else got updates on their FBR application ?

I’m nearly at 8 months (applied early Nov 18).

Any Sept/Oct 2018 applicants getting approval yet???

It seems as they are randomly processing Aug applications.

Ireland tracking:

My FBR certificate has reached the USA!

Update: Called today, in hold for 10 mins.. Nice lady informed me that my certificate was printed yesterday, going in mail tomorrow or Monday. Seems as I might have it before July 4th.. Got my congratulations email the day before my Irish born grandmother’s birthday and if my certificate arrives on ...

After a few attempts, I got through. I asked of the 2-3 week quoted in the email was a current expectation, they said it was accurate but Im thinking thats when it will be printed and I should expect anything for 3 more weeks. Michael You received the email??!!!! Tomorrow is 10 months exactly (Aug ...

Anyone have any idea of how long it takes to print the FBR certificate after being approved? Mine took 4 months. However, it seems that they are getting on top of things a little more recently as people seem to have been receiving their certificates within a month. The DFA did tell you 2-3 weeks in...

There is another, longer discussion of FBR questions and status on this board here . It is rather long, but I think you will find some posts that suggest DFA can be forgiving of some discrepancies with dates, because record keeping wasn't always as precise years ago. After all, the discrepancy for ...
