Update! Logged into the passport tracker on the 31st, it said my passport was being printed. Logged in early this morning, it's been dispatched! I only sent my application on October 15th so that is lighting fast processing time and well before their estimate of November 28th. Very impressive! I fo...
Thanks Luke125SWalker, that is reassuring. Hopefully once it shows on the tracker it will be a quick process. I will keep checking it and give it until the end of next week. Just wanted to mention that mine showed up in the tracker on 19/09/2019 (estimated dispatch 31/10/2019). It was printed and d...
Great to see people are getting their certificates - congrats to all. Well it is now a week and one day since I took my passport application to the embassy and it is still not showing on the tracker. Has anyone else had it take some time to show on the system? I am thinking perhaps give it until Tu...
I got my estimated passport issue date from the tracker and it's saying, 28/11/19. Can anyone who has received their passport let me know how long it took them to get it in hand after the date of issue? I know you're not meant to book your flight until you have it, but I was kind of hoping to book ...

"...We are currently pregnant with our first child and would like our child to have Irish citizenship, like their parents. After researching how to obtain Irish citizenship for the newborn, via the foreign birth registration process (the baby will be born in the UK)..." Have you checked ou...
Quick question: So far has everyone who has got their FBR certificate received an email confirmation of citizenship before the certificate is printed/posted? Thanks No, I didn't get an email from the FBR Section at all. No address confirmation or congratulatory email. I was emailed to collect my FB...
Thanks Lee, perhaps the photo's will be okay, reluctant to get them redone cause they are so expensive over here (25 euros!!) Hope you get yours through soon - same for everyone still waiting. Other thing I have noticed and this is a question for people who have applied for the passport, I have not...
"It usually takes longer to even show up in the tracker. I applied on July 5, waited 4 weeks to Show in tracker, expected issue date is Oct 10" The Embassy website does also say a month before it can be tracked now that I look. One thing I found reassuring is that the lady who received the...
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.
[/quote] Can you and SonicBoom please let me know the dates of addition to the FBR as printed on the certificate, once you get your hands on them? Thanks and congratulations to you both. [/quote] Here is my timeline: Application Received: 11 November 2018 Congratulations Email: None (Emailed to pick...
Hi All Got an email today from the Irish Embassy in Pretoria this afternoon. It reads: "FBR CERTIFICATE ISSUED, READY FOR COLLECTION - NOTE: WE DO NOT POST (COLLECTION STRICTLY FROM PRETORIA OFFICE) Dear Sir/Madam, Please note that your Irish citizenship certificate is ready for collection in P...
