I Don't believe you can send via FEDEX or UPS. I wanted to do that but agent said they won't deliver to a PO Box so I had to send mine USPS priority international. Supposed to take 3 days but took about 10! Very Good. I know UPS doesn't do it due to the P.O. Box # aspect but FEDEX too now ,maybe? I...
... Notarized passport is fine. I sent notarized passport , notarized NY state ID & original Social Security card attached to a notarized copy. I even notarized all my other things since it was easy to do all at once. I saw your post on the FBR thread- all of your official documents get returne...

For anyone who is abroad and worried about An Post losing your package, An Post currently has a massive backlog to fulfil. Many of domestic packages are being delayed for a couple of days. For international packages it could have a delay of up to a few weeks. Not worried about it getting lost just ...
Today is the day. ... A few observations. A copy of my USA Passport was accepted as proof. It was notarized. I did not receive any emails during the process from Ireland. The individual who I listed to verify my identity was never contacted. Thank you all for all your help and good luck. Thanks for...

Sadly, it will take a long time. Processing slowed measuredly due to Brexit. Big surges of applications occurred that slowed time from 3-6 months til over a year. Then came Covid-19 shut downs. It will depend on how things go in next 6 months to get things going again. So at the least a year and a h...
You are blending getting FBR via Grandparent with getting FBR via a Naturalized Parent. These are separate routes to get on FBR. For using grandfather who is born on the whole island of Ireland get his birth/marriage/death(or ID). Get your mother's birth/marriage/death (or ID) and your birth/marriag...
Hello, this may be a dumb question but I just want to make sure. So I submitted my application and getting all the documents to send off. It says for the passport photos “ 4 colour photographs (2 of which to be witnessed) – do not attach these to the application form” does that mean literally just ...
I have just stumbled across this forum, it’s good to see that some of the older applications are now moving along. I want to put in for my two children and husband to go on the register but have been putting off submitting an application due to the site saying everything is paused due to Covid. Hop...

Yes----once it gets in the US postal system then Informed Delivery will show a package will be delivered. It has the Irish tracking number but you can plug that number into the track my package search to get where/when it's been scanned. Mine was accepted in Dublin on Aug 14th 2021/Aug 18th in USA/...
