Passport Express is the only acceptable mail applications - or at least this is what they say. The processing time is about 4 weeks for first-time passport applications, even for native Irish people who have lived in Ireland for all of their life. As to why Ian was able to send his application dire...

Congratulations to Ian, Kathy and Liam on their recent progress. I'm sure your certificates will be with you shortly. I know all of you have been waiting over a year and it has been very frustrating at times. At least now it is almost over. When you actually receive the FBR certificates, please let...
Hi I'm posting to record my current timeline to help others gauge where they are in the FBR process. 25/8/2018 - Applied online & sent documents to Embassy of Ireland in London. 29/8/2018 - Acknowledgement by email "up to six months to process". Nothing further. No queries. Now 9 mont...
Update on my application (previous user name NYNJ): received an email from FBR office on August 15, asking to verify that my address of record was still current. I confirmed that, and received a response back that my certificate (read: my son's certificate) would be posted the following day, and th...
I've never been into self abuse or masochism. My take on Brexit is non-political and based on logic. I voted Remain to support the status-quo. Simply put I did not want to become worse off; importantly, I didn't want my children, and grandchildren to be worse off. People who voted Leave, based on ch...
Exercising your right/entitlement to citizenship and exercising your right to vote/thoughts about voting are two entirely different concepts. Is one not permitted to believe the EU is a dictatorship of unelected and unaccountable individuals whilst also holding dual nationality? Imagine how many du...
Thanks Maddeningbike for the link to the article. Useful to get a handle on the number of FBR applications. But the sting of the tale was towards the end of the article. The British guy states that, whilst he did not vote in the 2016 EU referendum (because he lives in Ireland), if he could have vote...
Hi I'm posting to record my current timeline to help others gauge where they are in the FBR process. 25/8/2018 - Applied online & sent documents to Embassy of Ireland in London. 29/8/2018 - Acknowledgement by email "up to six months to process". Thanks Ian, Mine was received in Dublin...
Thank you for the hard work done on tracking applications as well as for the interesting posts from all. I am in London UK and submitted my FBR online in February 2019. The online part and the payment was acknowledged by email on the 7th February and the receipt of the paper-based documentation was...
Hi everyone! It’s been a week since I responded to the “confirm your mailing address email” from the FBR Office. It said my application would be approved shortly. Does anyone have an idea what shortly means🤦♀️? And will I receive another email? Thanks, Laurie Well done Laurie. We are creeping forw...
Hey, thought I'd join in and add my timeline here too. I applied from the UK by sending my application to the London embassy in August. I received a confirmation on 30th August 2018 but I've heard nothing since. I'm officially in the 11 month club now. Hopefully hear something in the next month! Ju...
Thank you Sulla for your thoughtful reply. But surprise surprise I got an email today: Quote Dear John Your application is queued for processing. As a consequence of a huge increase in applications received, and the complex nature of the Foreign Births Registration, applications are currently taking...
Hi all Just found the forum, can you tell me what month applications are being processed for people who applied from within Ireland (i.e., not through another embassy)? My application was submitted Jan 2019 and acknowledged a few weeks later, with further docs forwarded first week of Feb which they...
Quote "Another is to send a short (character limited) notice indicating that you want to complain about the FBR dept using the form on this page. You should receive a response asking you to outline your complaint in full via return email. I used this method. https://www.dfa.ie/about-us/our-comm...
As of today I am 10 months 23 days. No queries. Ian Ian, you seem one of the closest applicants on here to me, I sent off in September via London. Are you via London too? I have a good feeling it is imminent, hoping it is the case! I'd be shocked if this spills into a full 12 months. Here's hoping,...
