My original documents (including my US passport which I sent) arrived yesterday. So just to add another datapoint for anyone following it took 17 days to receive original documents back after my Ireland passport was printed and dispatched. Now the whole process is officially done done . Fewww, what ...

Congrats! You're done. It's such a good feeling to be done. Curious tho, you got a blue Irish Passport? Mine is red from end of last year. I've only ever seen Red ones. Did they change the color of them recently? It really does feel good, thank you! I know nothing is different in my life in my day ...

Congratulations, Hummingbear. I did my FBR application in March 2020, and yesterday was the "expected" date for completion of my passport. Expecting it to be another week or 2 now. I'm curious if you had to sign for, or be home for, the US mail delivery of your passport and card - may be ...

Congratulations, I’m sure it’s a great pleasure/relief to finally have them in hand! Currently waiting for mine to arrive in GB and hope they don’t get held up for 10 days! I know what you mean about being patient but the whole process is quite anxiety inducing, especially so close to the end. Cong...

Well, my big day finally arrived. I received both my Passport and Passport Card today just moments ago. A close to a long chapter of waiting! I originally applied for my FBR/Citizenship in November of 2020. Below are my timelines for the passport application process along with some of my own tips th...

It is my understanding that a week beyond the Expected Date is currently the norm. It was for me. My expected date was April 27th and the actual dispatch date was May 7th.

Today my status progressed from “We are verifying your documents” to “Your application is being processed”. Can I infer from this that my documents have been accepted and will not need to submit additional documents? Yup, they have your documents! Congrats. You cannot infer that they might not ask ...

Hi, could you share the link to the webchat please?

It's at the bottom of this page: https://www.dfa.ie/passports/contact/

Has anyone's tracker updated in the past few days? Mine is stuck on 9th May, 17:xx - tried webchat today but even when I got the green to click on, it said "not available, try again later" once I filled in my name, etc. Same for me. They're slow sometimes, be patient and it'll update even...

Hi all, My passport documents were delivered by a post on the 10th may. The passport tracking system hasn't updated yet, at least I don't think so. On the 9th I have this message We have received your application. You must submit your supporting documents to proceed with the application I'm guessin...

For what it's worth I was able to call passport services and they provided me with the tracking number for both my passport Book and Card. The card never updated as dispatched on my passport tracking page (even though it is) and they never added my tracking numbers. If that's the case for someone el...

I got my passport book and my passport card was dispatched on Sunday but tracking number still doesn’t return any info on Anpost website. Did anyone else any similar issue?

I still don't even have a tracking number and mine was dispatched sunday as well. Odd.

yeah they provide tracking number separately for the passport and the card. Not sure if they provide tracking number for return of the documents post thou.

Where/when should I see this tracking number? I don't have it anywhere on my tracking page even though they show my passport as dispatched.

Well good news on my end here, passport was printed yesterday and marked as dispatched today! They are also printing the card as well.

Does anyone know if they provide tracking information for the post? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Yay!

Hi All Expected issue date April 26 Printing passport- yesterday April 28th. So 2 days after expected date. “Printing” is the current status. I expect dispatch Tuesday after bank holiday Monday has gone by. Dang, expected printing date of April 27th for me but status is still "Processing Appli...

And This morning my status changed to printing... So only 2 days after the estimated date. Just thought I would report back in case anyone in the future reading finds themselves in a similar situation.

Congrats! Mine is estimated for 4/27 so holding my breath I'll get a similar update soon here

Yep, it's a regular part of my morning routine, checking that tracker. I will need a new hobby after it's done!

Haha I know right?! What will my morning coffee look like without checking the application page. Maybe I'll just stare at my passport and smile...or plan my trip to Ireland

I'm 2-days away from the estimated date here myself...and I think the keyword here is *estimated*. They also add this at the bottom: "*Please note the estimated issue date is an estimate based on current averages – it is not a service delivery guarantee." I'm sure you and I will get an upd...

AN Post had much better, and more timely information. It does take a few days to make it thru once it hits Dublin.

Mine took 10-days once AnPost received it in Dublin to be delivered. I think results vary widely. I would not call them timely thought

How long does it usually take for them to scan your application once it's received and the online tracker to be updated? My documents were delivered and signed for in Balbriggan on 12th April and the online tracker still hasn't updated to reflect that...really hope they haven't lost it! I guess it ...

Does anyone know how many business days does it take for documents to be verified for applications made by naturalized Irish citizens living in Ireland?

They don't post any specifics on that, just if you're first time application, renewal...etc

Hi All - I sent in my application supporting documents at the beginning of march via USPS "Priority Mail Express International". It was expensive and supposed to arrive within 5-days and it is anything but express. The tracking shows its last scan in Dublin over a week ago. I'm not sure w...
