An update on this…I called up on Friday 16th as status was still in processing. I was told my passport was about to be printed and this was confirmed on Saturday 17th when status updated to printing (including passport card too).
UPDATE 21/06 - application still not progressing, spoke to the agents and they said basically wait to see if it changes if not contact them back. If I have to send again another set of bank statements and my notarised passport again it might get processed....seems like I cant winsmc0502430 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 7:54 amOnline application: 02 March 2023

I have no idea what left to do, I sent them already notarised copied of my passport and 2 bank statements and they still request these all over again, I spoke to 3 agents so far and they say they confirm they have everything needed and I need to check again this later this week as it should turn back to processing....its a long slog for a passport, cant wait to get this first time application out of the way
I would say that both of those will be fine, I used 2 different credit card statements for mine and all was processed ok. You do not need to send your original passport, a certified copy is fine, be sure to use a profession that they deem acceptable, I used a lawyer to certify mine.sophieluella wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 12:26 pmHi all,
I’m awaiting the imminent arrival of my FBR certificate and I’m eager to get my passport application sent off immediately, but I had a couple of questions I was hoping to get the answers to on here.
Regarding a proof of address and proof of name, can I use a bank statement and a mobile phone bill for these? I have no recent letters from a local health authority/government and I don’t have any utility bills in my name at the moment as I’m living with family.
My other question is regarding sending off my original passport. I’ve done some lurking on here and I’ve seen that others have sent notarised copies of their passport/driving licence, have these been mostly accepted? I’m hesitant to send off my actual passport, especially as we’re now going into summer and I imagine the waiting times will be going up.
Thank you!
Filed missing mail report with USPS a few days ago, no progress so far. Called DFA webchat yesterday and they said after 3 weeks from date of mailing I can make a claim and they will initiate investigation and (hopefully) reprint the passport. So close yet so far...TrishMc wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 12:31 amMy documents, passport card and passport were all mailed from Dublin on June 9 (to US). Have received docs and pp card, but passport tracking says it has been in NY Customs since the day it got there - see tracking below.

Anyone have a perspective on this? How can 2 of 3 similar items be delivered and one not? Should I be worried it's lost? Thanks!
Thanks for the update I feel a reassured now that I've sent satisfactory documents (assuming all the people processing follow the same logic).AngloIrish wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 2:02 pmAn update:

To hopefully help some other posters here:
I sent a certified colour copy of both my FBR certificate and my driving license. Both were colour copied and certified as true copies by my solicitor. Both were accepted. No passport sent. No copy of passport sent. I hope this helps. Good luck all.
Oh no, sorry to hear that! Keep us updated. I’m curious, are you also in NY? Or maybe that’s just the first customs stop for all US mail?TrishMc wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 12:11 pmFiled missing mail report with USPS a few days ago, no progress so far.

Not in NY but on the east coast. All incoming from Dublin goes through Customs in NY first.mmmcgee wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 8:26 amOh no, sorry to hear that! Keep us updated.

My A Post tracker says my passport delivery was “received in US” yesterday. Hoping it won’t be held up there for too long…
Did you receive your passport in the end? If so, how long did it take in customs?hummingbear wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 5:13 pmAnyone who has already received their passport, how long did yours sit in NY Customs for?hummingbear wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 4:07 pmAt a week now with no updates from USPS. Still the same message that it's in customs. Have folks who have received their passport had the same delays with ISC New York?hummingbear wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 4:39 pmHow long did folks passport from Ireland sit in NY Customs?

Didn’t see this being addressed else where but FedEx, UPS, DHL CAN deliver to a P.O. Box in Ireland and most countries, it’s just the local US staff believe they can’t because only USPS delivers to US based P.O. Boxes. You have to tell them it’s possible, but both times I have done it, they arrived exactly when they courier said it would. No one needs to stress to get the street address.Patpatriot wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 5:09 pmFED EX and UPS will NOT deliver to PO Box. I have used USPS about 4 times sending documents to Ireland, they have all arrived within 10 days of sending (From East Coast). I used Priority International. Easy to track in the US then transfers over to AN POST in Ireland, same tracking number.
Still no word from the USPS missing mail report on the 17th, so did another webchat with DFA. Last week they said they would initiate the replacement process 3 weeks after mailing, so called today expecting to start the process. Tried webchat again today and the rep was not sure if that was posslble after 3 weeks - she thought it was 8-10 weeks but sent it up the chain to her manager. Anyone have any experience with this (pp book lost in the mail, reprint)?TrishMc wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 12:07 pmNot in NY but on the east coast.
