Anyone got any advice on this? Filled in online form and paid money. Site saying don't send documents, so I haven't done so. Is this correct?miles_from_anywhere wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 12:32 pmWhat is your advice on the documents? Should I hold on to them? The site says not to send any documents at this time. Also there is no phone or webchat to ask any questions

Somewhat disconcerting to read this as very similar position. Born in UK to Irish parents, grandparents etc, applying for my 2 kids born in uk - pretty straightforward case I would have thought to process. Guess I'm on for a long wait as only 9 months in.....EmmaKate wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 12:08 pmYes, I received email confirmation on March 7th 2019.

Are there any complications in your case that might hold it up?
My parents were both Irish born so I was a citizen from birth and have had an Irish passport for years. I was later adopted in the UK (adoptive parents also Irish born) so I checked with FBR before I applied if this was an issue and was assured it had no impact at all and the application was still a very straight-forward one for my kids. In fact, they are eligible for FBR via both my birth family and my adoptive family. 27 months and counting....
Not quite that long (almost 22 months), but longer than some of the others posting successmidnighty wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 12:29 pmI'm a bit concerned as I have waited over 2 years. Has anyone else been waiting as long?

Thank you for sharing this information. My mum’s photocopied passport was signed as a true copy etc by her parish priest. I wonder if they will now want a certified copy as well…?

Congrats again Dublin3 ! As for me---still waiting. Now I just keep sending an email that my address hasn't changed. Doubt anyone is reading it though.
I am sorry to hear that jgclancy
Thanks for the positive waves. I will sit and wait since there's such a backlog on passports anyway. June 27th is my 2 year anniversary of applying. Yep---sitting on desk gathering dust most likely which is even more annoying. Oh well....no hurry at this time so just bide my time and try to maintain my patience.dublin3 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:48 amI am sorry to hear that jgclancy
Their service is disgraceful as they have no way to contact them.
I sent them good few emails before I heard something from them. Call the department of foreign affairs office in Dublin and ask them to speak to customer service manager. I am sure they will be able to help you out. We were both sent an email for address confirmation on 16th of December 2020 and my son was added to register on 18th of December. I am sure you are added to the register just your cert is not posted yet and sitting on someone's desk.
All the best.. Hope you will get yours soon
To him? No they cant.. they have to be born to an irish or born where their grannies where irishamiclvrt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:34 pmClarification question: Once my husband is on FBR, can my adult children apply for citizenship? We are going round and round in the family and I would like to hear if someone has gotten their adult children onto the FBR this way. It would be great to have that open to future generations.
No......only children born after he obtains his FBR are eligible to also apply via FBR. My oldest brother did not get his FBR so his son is not eligible. Another brother obtained his then had 2 kids. His children can get citizenship via FBR now and he is doing it now.amiclvrt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:34 pmClarification question: Once my husband is on FBR, can my adult children apply for citizenship?

Congrats....good to see progress for anyone. Having a pint for you now! Enjoy the Day!loopyloudancer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:44 pmHello another long time lurker here. This message board has kept me sane in the many months I have been waiting. Knowing that other people are in the same situation has been so reassuring.
I have good news! I am finally Irish and as of today I am in procession of my FBR certificate. Here is my timeline.
Application & documents posted: 20 September 2019
Tracking number confirmed deliver of documents: 24 September 2919
I didn’t receive an email to confirm this, so I phoned to confirm receipt. I then received an email acknowledging receipt of documents as 24 September 2019
Confirmation of address email: 28 May 2021 (I emailed to confirm address the same day)
Date added to FBR: 28 May 2021
Congrats email stating certificate printed & documents posted: 9 June 2021
FBR certificate & documents received: 14 June 2021
Total 629 days from application being received
I was concerned that I wasn’t going to be at home when the documents arrived to sign for them - I wasn’t at home but Mr Postman just posted them through my letterbox, obviously didn’t realised they were meant to be signed for!
Now to join the queue to apply for my passport!
Hopefully they are beginning to process application again. Good luck to everyone still waiting
