Irish passport application

[Monty27]

Have the application forms changed as I've had mine since Brexit.
(Born and raised in North of Ireland but don't live there currently and I have a British passport)
Thanks for advice in advance.
Parents and grandparents also born lived in North of Ireland.
I need to get these forms in the post but can't face the research. It's on my bucket list 😊

You can apply online now if you live in certain countries. My dad did this and got his much faster than his friends that had paper applications www.dfa.ie/passportonline/

As above, reply online. I got mine in a week in September in the same circumstances.

I'll give that a try a go with the aid of a laptop. I've imagined they want all the documents relating to my DC's both in 20s and born and living in UK. They want one too.
Second generation sort of thing. I thought posting hard copies would be less hassle and the forms since Brexit are good to go I'm just worried they're out of date.
Lazyitis or stress call it what you may asking such a dull question 😫👍🏼

My FIL is from Ireland. Could I get an Irish passport without my DH getting one, or does he have to prove his entitlement first ?
DH hates his father and feels like he’s getting it from his dad, so is reluctant.

I don’t think spousal passports are are available as of right these days - I think you have to live in Ireland for some time to get one. I didn’t bother getting my husband one ( we live in England ) and now I cannot. Unless we go and live in Ireland which we won’t

I should have been more clear : you have to get citizenship before a passport and to get citizen ship as a spouse I think you need to live in the country . I’d be delighted to be wrong on this as I’d love my husband to have one

That’s interesting. My DH said I was entitled to one, and our kids are too.

Do you live in Ireland ? Or is there another way he knows of that i am missing ? Lots of info on the link I sent -

And I was lead to believe that his sister has already got hers.

No, his father was born in the south of Ireland.

Your kids will be entitled to one, if your DH applies for citizenship for himself and then them once he has it.
you won’t be entitled to one unless you all go and live in ROI for 5 years.

Unless I am mistaken I think your husband and kids can apply for citizenship and then ( foreign birth register slow) apply for passport (quite fast and online ). You cannot apply for citizenship if if he has it unless you live there for a period and ‘ naturalise ‘.

DH and I both entitled to Irish passports because we each have a parent who was born in Ireland. My siblings and his sibling are also entitled to Irish passports because they have an Irish parent but their spouses are not. They don't have an Irish parent.
My daughter and all her first cousins who have an Irish grandparent are entitled to get on the Foreign Birth Register and then get an Irish passport.
The only way for a spouse of an Irish citizen to get a passport is through residency in Ireland.

We are in England btw.

Ok, I was told by my DH that I was entitled to one. He’s obviously wrong !

There's dual passports available to those born in the north of Ireland (the uk bit) and their families born in other parts of the UK right? (England but not sure about Wales and Scotland).

If you aren't born on the island of Ireland, you are automatically an Irish citizen if you have a parent that is an Irish citizen.

You can get a passport relatively fast, biy your kid’s are different You’ll need to get them on the Foreign birth registration

it takes about 18 months .

My FIL and 2 of his siblings were all born on the island of Ireland and therefore their children are automatically Irish citizens. 3 other of his siblings were born in England but are Irish citizens because they have an Irish born parent.

Exactly @AbsolutelyLoveIy . We waited until my daughter was on the FBR before we all 3 applied for our passports. DH and I were separately entitled to one because I had an Irish mum and he has an Irish Dad.

DH has just received his Irish passport (Irish mother but he has never lived there). It was taken at least 8 months and not all online as you have to supply original documents. Now he is working on the DC's. It's more than just a passport as he needs citizenship etc. I can not get an Irish passport as a spouse.

My daughter (irish and living in ireland) has been waitin 10 weeks for her passport. We couldnt do it online as she changed her name, not to her birth name and not to a married name. We are getting stressed now. We need new bank accounts as we are ulster bank.
We cant track it as we lost the tick,but before we lost it we could see on line they were processing it and would send it 29/4

Still waiting! You cant get through to them.

Does anybody have an email adress? Tried [email protected] and got no response

😪😪

I’m Northern Irish but live in England now. I got my Irish passport first then applied for my kids’ ones. The most recent son’s passport took aaages. It took about 7 months. I think it’s because they are inundated with applications. Even Ian Paisley Jr has one now!

@Resilience9to5 there is a live chat function for passport applications . Would that help?

That was the case 20 odd years ago. No idea when it changed but I've checked it out and 5 yrs residency is a definite requirement
