Glad to hear that rìbhinne. For my part, the USPS tracking is unchanged and AnPost shows nothing. Now nearly 60 days. *cries a little* Can you shed any light on the routing of your package (since it was also through USPS)? Was your fee necessary, in the end, and used? I am still mystified as to the...
Hello! I'm more of a reader than a participant but I've learnt so much from reading this forum! I sent my documents today and I'm a bit concerned. UPS wouldn't ship because the address is a PO Box. I had to use USPS and they said there's a new policy and there would be a $21 customs fee on delivery...
I'm living in an actual nightmare. It took almost 29 months for my FBR certificate to arrive after application. Now Royal Mail have LOST my passport application, which contained my birth certificate and my FBR!! Does anyone know how much it will cost to get a replacement and how long I'll have to w...
I’ll say I hope they are back to processing replacements! I’ve been trying to call the FBR line to confirm they have the supporting documents and application in queue. It’s certainly most unfortunate for my father who is unable to renew his passport without the FBR replacement and wants to travel t...

Hey, ribbinne. Thanks for your reply. We may be in the same (or similar) boat. If so, I'd think there'd be many, many more here (more than it appears) with the same issues. If customs (and payment, specifically) is an issue. I'd like to find out WHERE in the chain this might be happening as a means...
What in-person service would you mean? Even as Irish resident, I would only be able to apply for passport either online (and still sending supporting documents by post, but within Ireland) or filling out a form, which won't work in your case; https://www.dfa.ie/passports/post-passport/ They do have...
Hey, ribhinne. You'll see my post above regarding my travails with USPS. I was not asked to pay a fee. I agree, it'd be odd for documents like this as there is "no value" for such documents (even if they're personally priceless). At least that's my understanding. USPS only had me fill the...
I requested a replacement FBR back in September of last year for my fathers. We have been waiting since so I called on 02/17 and was informed they aren’t even processing replacement requests. The employee said they’d hope to resume before the end of the year. Additionally, many on this forum never ...
I sent my documents today and I'm a bit concerned. UPS wouldn't ship because the address is a PO Box. I had to use USPS and they said there's a new policy and there would be a $21 customs fee on delivery. I purchased a cashier's cheque and put it in the envelope stating it was for the customs fee b...
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I am calling on the collective wisdom of the board. This question is both FBR and Passport Services related. After receiving my FBR certificate in mid-January this year, I immediately (as in the next day) sent all the required documents in addition to the certificate that I'...
