Today's the day! I'm officially Irish! What a fantastic feeling! To those feeling anxious about the wait between the address confirmation email and congrats, try not to worry. I think radio silence tends to be a good thing - it seems if there are issues they'll contact you directly. Final update: Ap...

Got my confirmation of address email on the 14th Dec, and have heard nothing since! Starting to get a little anxious about it, I won't lie. I wonder what's taking so long!

I have no idea honestly. I've been checking the forum and spreadsheet almost daily, and seeing that there were a fair few applications received ahead of mine on the spreadsheet made me think it was going to be a little while before I received any word. I received the address check that states it's n...

I am really loving this forum and I have appreciated seeing other people’s journeys and timelines with their applications so I thought I’d also share my dates on here (I’ve added them to the Google doc too). Application submitted online: 03/09/2021 Documents received at Balbriggan (no email confirm...

Hi I sent application and payment July 2021. At the time the website said not to send supporting documentation due to Covid delays. Now the site says applications are processed per the date supporting documents were received. Do I need to wait till asked to send docs. Or will I be asked when my tur...

With the FBR office now processing October applications from 2020, and assuming that they keep up their current pace of review, it seems to me that those of us who submitted out applications and documents in October 2022 could feasibly our applications reviewed and (hopefully) approved in well unde...

Hi everyone. I've just checked the FBR google sheet, and there seems to be a load of applications missing between row 239 and 292, including mine. Does anyone know how to find these/unhide them if they're hidden? Argh! We've been deleted! You just reminded me to go update my own record and it's gon...

Thank you so much for this forum. Docs received email March 5, 2020 Address confirm email September 6, 2022 I'll update the spreadsheet. Thank you everybody. Hurray!

FBR Certificate arrived today. I'm going to be sending off everything for a passport next week or the week after (depends on how quickly I can get together with someone to have everything witnessed!)

Woohoo! Congrats!

Application submitted online and posted to Ireland: 10/12/2021 Supporting documentation delivered to Balbriggan: 13/12/21 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation from Balbriggan: 14/12/21 I'm amazed I got confirmation so fast, as I see some people have waited up to a month! Maybe things are im...

Hello, first time poster and looking for some advice please. I've recently received my first Irish passport (born to Irish mother) and now want to register both of my daughters on the FBR. However, the online application asks for my (the parent) Date of foreign births registration and FBR entry num...

All they would need to do is apply for a passport, as they are Irish citizens already. You would need to get all the paperwork, which is a rigmarole in and of itself, but I'd recommend applying in case they change their policies on foreign births! To clarify, your parents don't need an Irish passpo...

Hi all, I’m so glad I’ve found this forum as I really want to get my application submitted but there is one thing that has confused me on the application form. My grandparents were Irish, but my parents were born in England, and aren’t classed as Irish citizens. My understanding is I am still entit...

I'm not sure how pertinent it is to know but I sent off my application alongside my two sisters, with one set of original documents to cover all of us. I I'm really interested in how you consolidated your applications. Are you saying that you submitted only one copy of all of your ancestry document...

My wife’s application has just received address confirmation email and it was sent a full 6 weeks after mine.

As in, you haven't received address confirmation but she has?
