To be honest, I think this will depend on whether the date from the handwritten entry is just an outlier or whether there is a lot of confusion over the birth date. If you have a sheaf of other documents such as marriage certificates and death certificates showing consistent information (parent's names etc) which all contain the birth date you indicated, then I would not worry. This situation has come up before without issue for FBR inclusion. This is the main reason that the FBR section ask for such an extensive set of documents.IrishNJUSAMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:49 pmIt was 8 months ago today that my on line application and all required documents (and an entire copy of all docs) were confirmed as being received in Ireland for processing.
Quick question We were always told that my grandfather who was born in Omagh County Tyrone and whom I am requesting citizenship through was born on feb 5 1886 and I entered that birthdate on the application. The birth certificate which I requested and was mailed to me here in the USA indicates a handwritten entry in a birth log/ birth certificate of May 1 1886.
Does anyone know if this will be a major issue? I would think they would just use the information on the birth certificate.
Any feedback you have is greatly appreciated.
Even if it is queried, it would only serve to delay FBR. You can get records like this amended by the GRO or relevant records office if you can show sufficient evidence that there has been an error. I did this with some of the records I provided to deal with surname spelling variations and middle name issues. I was not asked to do this by the FBR section, I just did it anyway. I doubt this will be necessary in your case.
