Got my son's confirmation of address email today! As a reminder, I applied for FBR for my son when he was three months old and thus by the time they began processing his application his photos were too old (photos for those under the age of two must be from within the last six months).
Application submitted online: February 14th, 2021
Documents mailed: April 13th, 2021
Documents received in Ireland: April 26th, 2021 (according to the United States Postal Service tracking system; I never received any confirmation from the Irish authorities)
Email request for updated photos of infant child: November 29th, 2022
Updated photos sent by mail to FBR staff: November 30th, 2022
Confirmation of address email: April 17th, 2023 (today!)
In the home stretch now. Been almost exactly two years since they received our documents.
What's the expected time between now and physically getting the FBR certificate? Also, anyone know average processing time for a first time passport for an infant living outside of Ireland?
