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...

Hello,

Not sure if there's a passport specific forum but does anyone know if midwives can witness your first time passport application and photos?

I work within midwifery, therefore know more midwives rather than nurses so was wondering if that would be OK?

Thank you.

Additional paperwork: 09/05/2022 Excellent, congrats. What did you mean by additional paperwork.

Luckily back in 2020 I applied for a replacement birth ...

Looks like they’re getting through them - I just got my email confirming I will shortly be accepted as an Irish citizen and to confirm my address hasn’t changed. This was via email.

Hi again *update* I raced to my parents house and scrambled around to look for my birth certificate to find the certified copy that I ordered back in 2020. So the copy they do have is my dog eared old one, which I was convinced I sent in. It does look like a photocopy but it is in the long form and ...

Still hopeful to hear something by Paddy's day :o Side note- if anyone finds themselves in Dublin, the EPIC museum (Irish Emigration Museum) is amazing!! All about Irish Emigration and history, and famous Irish men/women that infl...
