I cannot speak for those who have gone through the naturalization process. I qualify for citizenship because my father (whom I never knew) was born in Ireland. However my original birth certificate has been amended and the amendment is notated on the actual certificate. When I applied for my passport (and provided all of the required legal, official paperwork) the passport did not like the fact I had submitted an amended birth certificate (even though it was a legal and official birth certificate from the United States). They requested further paperwork and only offered that providing a copy of the passport of a person whom I do not know, have never met and do not know how to contact, would be acceptable. Thus my passport application was declined. So based upon my experience I am inclined to believe the passport office will not accept a birth certificate that is incomplete. Mine is complete, but amended, and that was not acceptable for them.SelectMe wrote:What if someone has no Original BC, instead has only 'Not Found' documents from relevant department from home country. I know dept of justice have no problem accepting 'Not Found' and accept it happily. But, what about passport office, do they accept Not Found or If it must have to OBC. what if someone is not in position to get one at all? How about birth certificate from relevant Embassy in dublin e.q. Indian Embassy in dublin provides birth certificate that only states the DOB, whatever printed on passport and say it is the Birth certificate. Would that be enough?2) original birth certificate
thanks in advance
So you only sent the original country of origin passport and no other form of ID?thepiratequeen wrote:Yay! Passport received today...submitted July 25, so they are back to about 12 working days. Also we submitted originals. We received all back, but a bit dismayed that birth and naturalization forms were bent and folded. I know, not a huge thing, but they were not submitted this way. Ah well. Oh and we did NOT submit DL etc certified by garda. I thought the applications might be sent back, but not at all at all.
Thanks a lot for the details and enjoy your Irish passport!thepiratequeen wrote:No. We submitted original passport and birth cert., bank statement and utlity bill for each (4 in total), application with garda cert, 4 photos - 2 signed and certified (btw 2 were returned...we thought that interesting) and the Naturalization form. I went by what the passport express site said and after I had already posted, double checked with the paper included in Nat. package. I really thought I had screwed up, but all is well. I wonder if they add the extra ID if somethings are not in English. The entire packet was checked by the postal worker. ...brilliantly.
(Just please don't say Americans get preferential treatment--like some have suggested. Our journey has been just as long, arduous and expensive as most. My great grandparents are either very pleased, or wondering why I came back to this country. Hopefully it is the former.)
Thank you. I just received word that the passport office reviewed my new additional documentation, have deemed it acceptable, and now wish me to submit a new passport application.Yana31 wrote:I wish you all the best and hope it works out for you.
