Hi MikeyMikeyQ wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 12:35 pmHello folks, first time poster here. Had seen that MKCG has just recently applied and it was taking a wee while to get a response in regards to documents being received. I sent my documents away a week yesterday from Glasgow, arrived in Dublin on Thursday and they where received in Balbriggan on the AN website on Friday 20th but no confirmation from the FBR department. Hopefully MKCG’s are there too and, as Sulla has mentioned, everything appears to be pretty much closed going forward so we will see how things develop. People being safe and healthy is the main thing. Stay safe folks!
Just received the confirmation email this afternoon from dfat.ie that my application has now been received so I’d imagine you’ll get the same in the next couple of days.MKCG wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:48 pmHi MikeyMikeyQ wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 12:35 pmHello folks, first time poster here.

I’ve just had an email from anpost to say the docs have been delivered but no email for FBR office as yet. I’m not expecting anything from them for a while to be honest.
I think the 12 month wait will be 24 months by the end of this crisis
Stay safe everyone

Absolutely, I think we’ll be in for a wee bit longer of a wait but completely understandable.
All the best and good health to you and yours.

Yes they will send an address confirmation email before your documents are returned. The wait time from the time you receive that email to the time your documents are returned varies greatly, I think it was nearly a month for me but others have waited far less time and some have waited longer.smc0502430 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 2:45 pmI applied in October 2019 and to be fair in the current situation not expecting to hear anything until 2021 at this rate.
My query is around returning of documents, anyone who has completed the process do they contact you before returning your documents to make sure you are still at the same address? the issue I have is that as soon as the EU internal borders reopen I will be moving and I want to reduce how long I set the royal mail redirect if possible as it costs a fortune
Hey!chrisinpm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:15 pmJust wondering - does anyone have any insight into how long it takes for a newly-minted Irish citizen to receive their Irish passport?
I was directed to send it to the New York City consulate and it was signed for late last week so I know they received it. Was just wondering (a) how long it took to get into the tracking database and (b) how long it took till I got the passport in the mail?
I understand that the virus will no doubt up-end any estimates people give me, but wanted to get an idea of how long it took under normal circumstances for those applying from the USA. Thanks!
Quite normal. You will not get a receipt email from the DFA in Dublin because your application followed the embassy route. You had to submit the documents in person. Therefore, you know they have been received.
Yah mine didn't show up for at least I month if I recall. They have to get through all of the other applicants before your's at the embassy. Your's will show up soon enough though.chrisinpm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 4:21 pmOK thanks. I'm guessing 5 months considering the impact of the virus on things. Thankfully I'm not on a particular timetable.
If it hasn't already been added into the passport application tracking system I'm guessing that happens when the application arrives in Ireland for processing, and not while the consulate in the US has it.
Ugh, gutted about this but understandable. I'm a July 2019 applicant and was looking forward to being a citizen during the summer. Looks like that will delay it by at least 3-6 months now. Oh well, the wait continues, it is what it is. Not like we can travel anywhere at the moment anyway!fvigaud wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 3:17 pmNotice on DFA FBR page:

If we have already paid the fee and were about to mail the package...best to wait till services resume I assume just in case they shut down mail services as well?fvigaud wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 3:17 pmNotice on DFA FBR page:

well, I did vital check at some point over a year ago, submitted on April 26th 2019, and still didn't get to the top of the queue before the Corona virus emergency hit Was probably just a couple of weeks away.cdfly wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:55 pmKnew I should have just coughed up the extra $50 for vitalchek...Instead, still waiting for one last birth certificate from NJ for over 2 months now...fvigaud wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 3:17 pmNotice on DFA FBR page:
