Getting a Passport (Irish Grandparents)

[HoliHormonalTigerlilly]

Does anyone know how to go about doing this from England?
Is there anywhere that can help?

@SilentNoMore thank you :)

I am IC. But my children require Foreign Birth Registration (FBR). So I will apply for this on their behalf, through my father's (their grandad's) records etc.

I'm expecting a +2 year turnaround, so I am paying for copies of the original records documents (my dad's birth, my birth, my marriage certificates...)

I was wondering if I need to get 2 x copies of all of these, or whether I can apply for FBR for both of my children in one single application.

Thanks to you (+ anyone else) who might know!

@SilentNoMore Yes, if you yourself are applying via a grandparent rather than via a parent, you need to be on the FBR before your children are born. Otherwise they can’t become Irish citizens. If you are making an application via your parent, your already born children can make their own application via a grandparent.

Thanks both, not even relevant to me but I find things like this fascinating.

What if your parent applied through their grandparent and was successful, could the parents children then claim?

@SilentNoMore , no, it ends with grandkids (is my understanding!) :)
