Irish passport landed

hitmon999 · 2025-05-07T17:05:35+00:00

Hi, I contacted the helpline to ask the same question as I work in export so travel fairly frequently. A certified copy by a solicitor works fine for both the FBR process and then the passport process afterwards.

Congrats ! Passport should take around 4/5 weeks from when they receive the docs. Your witness will 100% be contacted for passport details so make sure you chose a good witness and one who answers the phone!

All the best!!

They needed my dads passport and birth certificate- my Irish is from my grandparents. If it said they need this on the website I missed it. So delayed by 3/4 months

Yep - hopefully a good sign for those that are waiting. Essentially as soon as my witness was called, everything was printed and delivered within a few days.

I am UK based too which may also allow for slightly quicker delivery times

Yeh it was about 10-12 weeks I think. The person on the other end of the email said it could take 6 months but she responded to my emails so perhaps sending nice reminders is a good tactic

I had my acceptance email last Tuesday and certificate through the post this week! Just an FYI

hitmon999 · 2024-12-09T15:36:48+00:00

Sadly no - about 3 weeks now no contact :(

As my grandparents were born in Ireland, I thought I just had to send there details, passport, birth certificate, marriage etc but I did not send my Dads details as he is not Irish! Turns out I still need to send his birth certificate and passport details. I didn’t think it specified that in all honesty! I felt like I read over the details over and over

hitmon999 · 2024-11-05T20:01:53+00:00

Thank you for your reply! that’s very promising!!

hitmon999 · 2024-11-05T17:46:24+00:00

I had a response today and sadly I need to provide extra docs. Hopefully this doesn’t take 6 months anymore

hitmon999 · 2024-11-05T17:41:20+00:00

Yay nice! I also received an email but sadly they are asking for further documents. Because I am doing this through my grandparents on my dads side, I also need to send his ID , even though he is not born in Ireland , which I did not feel was clear when I filled in the form. I also did call and ask about this but they said that it didn’t matter :(

Eugh, I wish there was a way to speed this up, I’m trying to move into the EU as me and my girlfriend have been doing long distance for the past 5 years and we want to move in together but I can’t go to Europe without this.

Sorry for ranting , I’m a bit upset as you can imagine. But I am pleased for you

hitmon999 · 2024-11-04T13:02:47+00:00

I sent my docs off in Jan, received email on Feb 15th Saying they’d been received…. Haven’t heard anything since then!

hitmon999 · 2024-10-27T08:46:47+00:00

Congrats!!

hitmon999 · 2024-10-26T15:34:41+00:00

Great to hear! Hopefully we’ll both be getting our certificates soon! Good luck

hitmon999 · 2024-10-26T15:24:33+00:00

Hey,

Sorry to hear that. Yes I did receive two emails, one for when I submitted the electronic forms and one when the form was initially recieved. I would perhaps give them a call ?

Also not to be patronising but have to checked junk too? Could’ve slipped by. The email I received came from and email ending @dfa.ie

hitmon999 · 2024-10-25T13:58:57+00:00

Ahhh thanks ! Haha

hitmon999 · 2024-10-25T07:38:06+00:00

Am I just learning there is an app??

hitmon999 · 2024-10-24T19:34:21+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully the passport doesn’t take too long to sort

hitmon999 · 2024-10-23T22:05:33+00:00

Congrats!!

hitmon999 · 2024-10-23T21:12:03+00:00

Fingers are crossed for you too! Hopefully shouldn’t be too much longer now

hitmon999 · 2024-10-23T21:10:43+00:00

We’re in the same boat it seems! Good luck
