Hello all, first contact from FBR team today, thought it might be of interest to some as my son was under 18 when we applied (barely, I rammed the application in hoping to save on the adult fee!) and of course is now an adult. I've seen others ask on here what happens in that case, and can report back that in ours at least, nothing much.
They emailed asking for my marriage cert (I don't have one, never been married, that's why it wasn't included in the package of documents - heads up for others, probably best to include a "I don't have a marriage cert, never been married" statement to cover that base!) for both children, applied with supporting documents for both as one packet.
Also in the email for the now-adult-child was a blurb about "I notice NAME is now an adult and as such may want to continue with his own application, please provide his address, email and phone number; or you may continue to act on his behalf". No request for adult fee, nor additional documents relating to adult/child change of status. We are of course continuing with Mummy doing the paperwork for him, lol.
Dates of note for our application:
Online application Mar 03 2021
Documents Mailed Mar 11 2021 (Canada)
Tracking received Balbriggan Mar 25 2021

Email requesting (non-existent) document for both children Dec 01 2022
