Congrats extremechimping!

My passport book was received today, which concludes my journey. Thanks all. Good luck all my fellow compatriots.

I can confirm that a solicitor colour copied and certified copy of the FBR was accepted for passport application purposes.

I hope this helps some of you who like me are reluctant to send the original document for fear of it being lost.

An update: Applied online: 24/04/2023 Sent documents (from UK, Royal Mail): 25/04/2023 Documents arrived (according to Royal Mail): 03/05/2023 Documents received (according to DFA): 03/05/2023 Estimated issue date: 31/05/2023 Witness was called: Today 21/06/2023 Printing: Today 21/06/2023 To hopeful...

Oh no. Hope you get that sorted.

To add to the misery my witness told me today he’s working from home all this week, so when they ring his office he won’t be there. So that’s probably another week for me. Good times!

Coming up to 2 weeks past estimated date now and not heard anything.

Thanks ParsleyGreens, that is helpful. My estimated due date was 31/05/2023 (day after yours) and still in processing. I guess mine will be early next week. I’m going on holiday at the end of June and I’m very grateful I chose not to send in my passport.

I agree with the above - thank you GoingBackBackToEire for the work you’ve done here.

Update for binky62 and anyone else applying for a passport after receiving their FBR certificate. In my posts a few pages back I said that I'd sent a notarised colour copy of my FBR certificate as it states on the application form that this is acceptable. I also submitted a notarised copy of my UK ...

Yup, they have your documents! Congrats.

You cannot infer that they might not ask for additional supporting documentation. This just confirms that they have them and will begin the process.

Thank you.

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?

The statuses have finally refreshed today if anyone was waiting.

No update for me either since Tuesday. It normally updates daily after 5pm.

If it's a photocard style driving license (like here for example - https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/ph ... -explained) - fine.

Great. I suspected so but wanted to confirm. Thank you.

Hello,

Applying for passport, can I just send a certified copy of just my driving licence card? Or does it mean the full form document? Thanks.

Congratulations email just received.

Docs received date: 27/06/22
Address confirmation: 14/03/23
Congratulations / certificate sent: 19/04/23

Overjoyed. Thank you Ireland for this wonderful privilege.

Hi is anybody able to tell me how the address confirmation email is worded please Subject: FBR Application No: xxxxxx Body: Dear XXXX, We are currently processing your application for entry onto the Irish Foreign Birth Register. To ensure all documents are dispatched to the correct address, please ...

Got my son's confirmation of address email today! As a reminder, I applied for FBR for my son when he was three months old and thus by the time they began processing his application his photos were too old (photos for those under the age of two must be from within the last six months). Application ...

That’s great, thank you.

I’m expecting my congratulations email imminently going from other timelines, I have made a VIP mail rule for anything from @dfa.ie. There is a custom vibration tone which literally shakes the table and an ‘AWOOGA’ car horn alert sound assigned to it. There will be no mistaking when it finally arriv...

Does anyone know if posting to the UK is still being delayed?
