You are not an Irish citizen yet, you will only become Irish citizen on the day when your naturalisation certificate is issued. Until that day you can still use your IRP card with your passport.
That is actually a valid question. I am in the same boat as you. Well maybe a step or 2 ahead as I have applied for my passport and the passport tracker showing the estimated issue date to be 24/02/2022. With a note: *Please note the estimated issue date is an estimate based on current averages – it is not a service delivery guarantee.
It s good question, it takes months to get the passport.... honestly I don t see why they shouldn't let you re enter with the IRP card but I would wait for a reply from more knowledgeable users.
No, IRP card is a property of Department of Justice and must be returned when it's expired/renewed or when you are no longer entitled to have it. Irish citizens are not entitled to have IRP cards. Immigration officers will not be happy to see you using it after you become an Irish citizen. Get a re-entry visa instead.
But if she is an Irish citizen already why she needs a re entry Visa...I would ask the question to immigration directly if I were in the same situation.Vorona wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 5:55 pmNo, IRP card is a property of Department of Justice and must be returned when it's expired/renewed or when you are no longer entitled to have it.

Re-entry visa can be issued for Irish citizens who have citizenship of another country that also allows dual citizenship. All that is needed is a naturalisation certificate, passport and re-entry visa application. The visa is issued for free and will be valid for one year. If Irish citizen attempts to use IRP card when entering Ireland, the card can be confiscated and the person will be told to get an Irish passport. Getting re-entry visa is much faster that waiting for a passport.
