I live in nyc. I applied to the FBR through descent of my grandparent I heard from the Foreign birth registry July 31st via email. * Here's the timeline for me: * Irish citizenship Application Payment received On 9/22/23 *10 months later On 7/31/24 Fbrentitlement emailed me to confirm my address *According to the experience of people on *According to the experience of people on message boards and forums... After I confirm my address I'm almost done * I will get an email about 1 month later confirming my citizenship * * 2 weeks after that the citizenship and the other supporting documents should arrive in the mail So l'm close. My question is this: will they send me some sort of a document certifying that I am a citizen? s there an additional fee for this? Is it mandatory to go to a ceremony and take an oath, if I get citizenship by descent. thank you
You will recieve an FBR certificate after the final email saying congratulations. This document will be used to apply for your passport. You won't need your grandads docs but your parents docs if I'm correct along with yours. For the ceremony I'm not too sure if its mandatory but it's an important. One question which I'm still wondering is the residency rule. They say that you should legally reside in ireland for three years upon approval. So I wonder if that puts a halt on any work or travel you do within the EU.
im irish was bron in sligo ireland came to uk back in 1977 lived he ever since i dont have a passport both parents are both form ireland. but have sadly pass away. i recived my BRP permit last year ( ILR ) What do i need to do in order to get irish passport?
No. Needs to be original printed official government issued document. “Original” in this sense does *NOT* mean it has to be the actual copy issued at time of birth/marriage/death. You can apply for a replacement official “copy” (from the appropriate official registry of births/deaths/marriages) and that will count as an original. But no electronic copies (e.g. pdf) or photocopies.
Hi, my maternal grandfather was born in Ireland in 1920 but his father never registered his birth. He has no birth certificate but i do have evidence from the parish church that he was baptised the day after he was born. I've written to the Irish GRO to do a search for him. Is this enough to apply for Irish Citizenship? Thanks
