Irish citizenship: Covid backlog leads to 'heartbreaking' delays https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59308462 What a strange article, if you're married to an EU citizen in most countries (including France I believe) you have the right to reside in the country where your EU citizen spouse is living. You j...
Hi I applied in August 2019, received the "documents received" email email on 27th August 2019 and had heard nothing until last Friday when I had a phone call from Dublin to say that my application (along with my brother's) had been approved. The lady said that I will receive an email con...

Ah, I was wondering about this. Was it two separate things, confirmation of address and then requesting an address to post the documents and certs too? I was hoping to request that the certificate and documents be sent to my mother's address but was unsure I could as I do not live there myself and ...
Final timeline update from me (on the FBR at least!) and I'll update my entry on the spreadsheet: Application submitted online: 10/11/2019 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation Balbriggan: 02/12/2019 Confirmation of address phone call: 29/11/2021 Date added to FBR: 29/11/2021 Congrats email:...
Hello all, Long time lurker here and recently joined. Just wondering if anyone who applied in Jan 2020 has received their address notification email/ certificate yet? I feel so close yet so far! my grandmother was born in Cork to Irish parents with all the papers to prove lineage. Hoping its a stra...
Hi everyone! I am a proper lurker on this forum - I have never posted before but I have been checking up here since about July 2021 when I stumbled up on it in yet another frantic google search to see if I could find out anything about FBR processing times! Today I received a phone call form the DF...
Good luck everyone, I received my congratulations email onto my passport now🥳 Application 4oct19 Documents received 14oct19 Address confirmation 16Nov21 Congratulations email 25Nov21 Congrats! So just over 2 years. Question, do you need to send back the actual FBR certificate to apply for a passpor...
I got tired/bored of waiting, so dropped off the application for my son with the USPS today. They said it would take 5-6 business days to get from the United States to Ireland. Application submitted: April 13th, 2021 I am hoping that this entire process (including Irish passport) is completed befor...

Following a surge of Covid cases in Ireland the government are asking people to work from home. No confirmation on impact to services like FBR, but it's been clearly communicated in the past that FBR processing cannot be done remotely, so there's a strong chance this could impact the reopening. htt...

Has anyone spoken to a human at the Irish FBR since they "re-opened", which was apparently yesterday? If I am reading the below webpage correctly, you can actually call them now. Not sure if there is a webchat option, which might be easier to reach? I spoke with them by phone 25 months ag...
This might mean something to some of you. Just seen this posted on Twitter and it's straight from the mouth of Simon Coveney, the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs whose department is responsible for the FBR. https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2021-11-11/296/?highlight%5B0%5D=foreign&am...
Docs received in Balbriggan: 21 Nov 2019 Request for partial document resubmission: 14 Oct 2021 Confirmation: pending Good to finally hear something after nearly two years' radio silence! Nice! Good to see that things appear to be moving again at least somewhat! Hopefully they get to Feb 2020 end o...
After an eternity, I have just received my confirmation of address email. So they are definitely back on the case (or fed up with my Twitter enquiries). Timeline Online application: 5 November 2019 Confirmation of receipt of documents: 11 November 2019 Confirmation of address: 29 September 2021 RE ...
That's strange, they may have changed that since I used it. I submitted a request on my FBR application this way in April and absolutely got a response. I don't remember that disclaimer being there at the time, but who knows. Maybe a bunch of other people did it that way too, and they put up the di...

Yes, I used the contact us form in April and was emailed back by a DFA employee within a few days. The person did not tell me much, but asked for my application ID, which I provided, and then they confirm that application was there and pending review. It didn't do any good for getting an ETA or anyt...
Boy oh boy, like so many here I am relieved to have found this board, as there has been so little communication on when the FBR will begin processing. Seeing people receiving their cert,etc is great and It appears from the posts that someone is now processing applications from Q3 2019, which is at l...
