29 months and counting! Have any Feb 2020 been successful? Not seen any news since one or two has been processed a couple of months ago. 🙈 there's only been a handful so far that I've seen on here. I'm Feb 14 and was hoping to have my cert by summer. Now I'm hoping to have it by September ... but n...
:D Woohoo! After 28 months and 6 days, I have finally had a confirmation of address email. Reading other posts on here I know it will be a while until my docs & certificate arrive, but I am SO excited! Thanks for everyone's support and good luck to everyone else who is patiently waiting. I may ...
Kiss me I’m Irish :lol: I received my email today confirming I am an Irish citizen and that my certificate is in the post. The timeline for me between the email letting me know I would shortly be approved, and being approved today was 34 days. Once I have the certificate in hand I will post again a...
Curious, has anyone from late January - February 2022 called the FBR phone number and asked for an update? They announced a 2 year approximation a few months ago, and seems like many of us are now approaching 28 and 29 months. Has anyone called? Seems reasonable to simply ask for an update I would ...
If your theory is true, FBR will now go down drastically, since ceremony on June 20th will cause a heap of new Irish citizens by naturalization apply for a passport. They've hired some temporary staff to Passport office, but doubt it'll be enough to keep passport processing speed on the same level....
Hi all, I hope that this post will help others to understand how it can progress from Confirmation of address. Confirmation for address requested by 'e' mail on 25 May 2022 I was already on my laptop so replied within minutes on the same day. 'e' mail confirmation arrived 26 May 2022 as follows.......
Sigh. Was happy to get an email that my citizenship is about to be approved and my certificate mailed. However that was almost a month ago now. Obvs I just want it asap so I can stick the damn thing in an envelope straight back to them for the passport wait. Any recent advice on how long Between th...

The FBR made an update to their website on the 27th May saying the were spinning up a new team dedicated to FBR. The same page STILL quotes a year to 18 months to process. You would think they would change that. It seems like it's more accurately 2.5 years for some of our posters. It feels slower n...
Lucky enough to have been added to the FBR in January after waiting over 27 months and immediately applied for my passport. Sorry to break it to you but it's been more than a further 4 month wait for that as a first time applicant. Good luck to everyone still waiting. Have you received your passpor...

Feb.17, 2020 here, hoping beyond hope to have an Irish passport by mid August for my university student. Search my email by .ie every day. I'm a Feb 14, 2020 applicant myself, and at this point seems we'll be fortunate to have the FBR cert by the end of the summer, let alone a passport. Things seem...
Seems very quiet on here again, no real announcements for the Feb 2020 applicants. Coming up on 28 months myself ...
lets hope things get moving again. I was hoping to have the cert by summer, looks like that's prob not going to happen. sigh.
You're misunderstanding I think, applications are expedited for the parent of the expected child. If the parent is not on the FBR when the child is born the children aren't entitled to Irish citizenship, thus they will expedite the parent's addition to FBR prior to the birth of the child. Which is ...
Hello all. I submitted an online application for my first child last summer. Our second child was just born and we submitted her application online last week. I am posting all required documents for both applications tomorrow. I didn’t previously send documents for the first child’s application as ...

Hi everyone! I'm a bit unclear on what I'm going to need to submit. My grandfather and grandmother were born on the island, so I know I can submit their documents to get on the FBR. However, my father recently received his Irish passport through claiming his citizenship (he was born in the USA). Am...
Any March 2020 approvals at all yet ? I’ve Just past the 26 month marker last week. Interested if anyone is on the same timeline as myself My “application received” email arrived in my inbox 14/02/20, hoping for news soon Same here, 02/14/20. It's appears they are still working on end of January/be...
How have people approached conflicting instructions in the application? For example, regarding the two signed photographs, the application's instructions state: I also certify that the four photographs (the back of two of which I have signed, stamped and entered the application number ) But on the ...

Thought I would put in my ti...
My great grandmother was Irish. I'm not sure if my parent is on the FBR and my parent is deceased, so there's no way for me to ask. Is there some way to query the FBR to to determine if my parent is on it? I sent an email to the consulate but got linked to the FBR site so I'm not sure where to go f...
Hi all, Just checked my 'e'mail and I have a message from Balbriggan asking for address confirmation today 25 May 2022. My docs arrived there on 3 Feb 2020, so the February lot are on the move now. Good luck to everyone, Martin George Congrats! Another Feb applicant! I'm Feb 14, so hopefully in the...
