Hello everyone,
I'm trying to work through my anger about Brexit (sigh) and am applying for an Irish passport but need to do the foreign birth registration - am applying because my granddad was Irish. The info available on the embassy website is minimal and frustrating and it's hard to get in touch with them.
Does anyone have answers to the following:
-will they accept a notarised copy of a passport? it says they do but then I have seen that it must be original copies (I can't be without a passport for 6 months plus!)
-if there has been a surname change must you send deed poll/marriage certificates?
-what proof of residence do they accept? if I send my savings account with co-op statement, current account with NatWest statement and phone bill will this suffice? wasn't sure if two bank statements would be accepted (are from different banks so should be okay)? It's tricky for me to provide anything more because I am moving out of my house and just staying with friends for the foreseeable future so won't technically have a fixed abode in terms of being able to provide utility bills etc.
-if I book an appointment to go to the embassy office on Cromwell road in London then will they help me? I wasn't sure if they dealt with FBR there.
Thank you for all of your help in advance, am hugely overwhelmed by the process as there doesn't seem to be much support online (maybe it's just me!).
