I currently live in Florida, but I suspect my address might be unstable for the next 8-18 months and might change between the states of Florida and Georgia. The FBR registration process, from what I have heard, can take between 6-18 months or more, depending on the individual circumstance and any a...

Once your mom has an Irish passport, you are sorted out. You just need to follow the various steps for the child of an Irish citizen. You use her Irish passport to join the foreign birth's register. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but since she was not born on the Island of Ireland (she was born ...

Poundcake, do you have a family (e.g. wife and kids) who will be travelling with you to Europe? Where do you plan to live? I ask because if you have the option of British and Irish, where you want to live may decide which you should apply for, but in the opposite kind of way. So if you want to live...

If your mother or grandfather is still alive, the easiest route is for them to apply for an Irish (and/or British) passport. If they get the passport this solves your problem. This is a low cost solution. Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I follow how that solves my problem. My mother maintain...

So, since the LASPO Bill has passed, has anyone heard how the UKBA will be treating convictions that would have otherwise been spent?

My particular interest is in relation to the "Good Character" requirement of form UKM...

If my father were British, I could just "claim" British citizenship, but since it was my mother, and I have to "apply", the problem comes in on the form UKM with the "Good Character" requirement (something that would not apply if it were my father that was British). I ...

But to register as a British citizen, assuming you were born before 1983, you just need to submit with form UKM: your passport; and your full birth certificate; and your mother's full birth certificate; and either her certificate of naturalisation or registration as a citizen of the United Kingdom ...

As it was my mother, not my father, that is British, I would actually have to go through a similar process to this in order to become British. I am able to "apply" for British citizenship using form UKM, but I also run into snags in that process.

Thanks for that info, I believe you are correct so I've been gathering up all the necessary documents to submit for my Foreign Birth Registration, and I've come across a few snags (who doesn't). Snag 1: My grandfather is Bryan on his wedding and death certificate, but is Bernard on his birth certifi...

Thanks for those links, they do provide the information in a different way than the Irish Embassy in the US ( http://www.embassyofireland.org/home/index.aspx?id=30818 ). It just seems that every official site where I am able to find information about it, it is explained slightly differently so it al...

I have a question about whether or not I am eligible for citizenship under these guidelines. I've done some research, including The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1956 (amended in 1986, 2001, 2004, etc.) but I'm having trouble wading through all the changes. If anyone here is knowledgeable...
