Finally, I have my Irish passport! :D Here is a breakdown of the full process for anyone wondering, beginning with my initial steps to get myself onto the Irish Foreign Birth Register. Foreign Birth Register (FBR) Application sent via post from London, UK - 28th September 2019 FBR application accept...
Hi everyone. Sorry, this isn't a joyous update where I can say a passport has been issued. I submitted my application in February, and it was confirmed they have my documents on 24th Feb. In April my application moved from "processing documents" to "processing application". My pr...
I found that the tracking bar is inline with the estimated due date and not an accurate gauge for when you will get the passport. For example, mine kept ticking up until it got to 100% on my due date. Since I didn't get it by then, it automatically went backwards to about 75% and has stayed there. ...
Hello everyone :) My application was submitted in February and it is listed as "processing application". I'm just wondering, does the status bar on the Passport tracking website actually move during the processing stage? I can't decide if it is my own wishful thinking that the bar seems to...
Good news! Got my passport today, 1 month ahead of the estimate date. Tracker went from Processing to Dispatched, no printing phase. * Documents sent: Jan 27th - received Jan. 31st * Estimate date was April 08 but passport arrived today, March 10th. * Original documents not delivered yet. Wow that'...
Hi I will apply for irish passport but i am not sure if I have to send the original documents or copy (certified)because a lot of documents. Could you help me please. Where possible they advise sending originals. We sent originals of both birth certificates needed, and the only certified copy we di...
My husbands first time Irish passport (done online) had an estimated date of the 28/1/22. Its now 4 weeks overdue. I am so nervous whether or not we should use the webchat to chase it up... I was fine before, as a few people stated theirs were 4 weeks or 5 weeks late. But now seeing people who appl...

I sent my application off via post on Wednesday. I know it was shipped to Ireland according to my Royal Mail reference number, and hypothetically got to Ireland early Thursday morning, but the An Post website hasn't updated with tracking information. I'm wondering if anyone knows how long it took f...

Hi, I got my passport at Christmas after ~10 weeks with no complications. I sent my original GB passport and it was returned promptly shortly after the passport arrived. I think you would be right to not expect your passport back much before May. The regulations I've read do say they would accept a...
Hi everyone, hope you had a good weekend. I've recently received my FBR certificate and have been going through the process to get my Passport application ready. I have my birth and FBR certificates, and relevant proofs of name/address. I can get someone I know to certify my driver's license. Howeve...

At long last, I received that welcome confirmation of address email this morning. It has been 830 days since I made the online application on the 1st of October 2019 (822 since it was received in Ireland). I am just hoping that Omicron doesn't put yet another hold on operations there. Congrats! I w...
Congratulations! I hope I am right behind you in the pile (email acknowledgement 6 days after you). Thank you! I am sure that you will be. I saw that PlasticPaddyWagon was approved on the 29th December and he had his email acknowledging receipt of documents a day before I did in 2019. So, if you're...
