She didn't conceal anything at all. She actually applied as an Irish Citizens and uploaded the required documents on the online portal AFTER Citizenship certificate was issued to her. I don't buy this idea that someone can conceal their Irish citizenship from department of Justice/Immigration.

I respect your opinions because they're are based on facts but i would disagree on this. One of my colleagues's wife who had Irish Citizenship but not Irish Passport was issued a new IRP after she got her Citizenship certificate. She applied on basis of her husband who is Irish as well. IRP cannot b...

Got my passport today, took nearly 2 months to issue passport after documents were delivered to them.

Just keep checking. It changes at 7:20, 9:20, 11:20, 13:20, 15:20, 17:20 and 19:20

You can travel on IRP and birth country passport even after getting Citizenship certificate before you get your Irish passport, telling from experience. Citizenship certificate doesn't cancels IRP.

Very common, not even an issue. Once they review you documents and start verifying them, only then tracker will update to Processing-Verifying documents. It might be sometime today or tomorrow or so. Has anyone got the below tracking error even on the second day of application submission? "The ...

New development on Passport application tracker. It has first updated at 7:20 instead of 9:20.

that's very thoughtful assessment, appreciated

Applied in May, 2021 and acknowledgment in Oct, 2021. Got FOI and application doesn't seems to be processed after issuance of acknowledgment letter.
Any advice other than waiting?

Hi guys, looking to see if someone has similar experience with passport application tracker.
My tracker was updating every 2 hours starting 9:20 am to 19:20
But for last few days it stops updating during the day and then time change etc at 19:20.
Is there an explanation for that?

Biometric page and signature page

Did you eventually get a passport though?

Seems like you are Asian/Pakistani. By background check it could be verifications from Pakistan or your local internal checks in Ireland-not all is revealed

Applied in May, 2021. Got acknowledged in Oct, 2021. no further updates.

I think they might well be working on the weekend but would only change the statuses of all progressing applications on a working day to avoid things becoming too obvious

Does passport office works on weekends and/or on bank holidays? My passport application status updated with today's time. It didn't update to anything new, it remains same as of last few days but just the time change.

Do you mind me asking what country are you comparing Irish system to?

I think it's waste of time trying to get hold of them

I guess stressing yourself and complaining won't help.

You applied in Nov, 2020 and it's been 18+ months not 28 months.

Does DFA webchat actually works or is it a scam? I used it a few times few years ago for my kids passport and i would secure a "green chat box" fairly easily but now i am refreshing constantly and it's unavailable. Also it became available for a brief interval but i could not get into the ...

Short answer, Certified copy of current passport biometric first page will suffice.
