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 😊

The chat function is beyond useless. I’m waiting for my pport and there is no functional way to get in touch

if you check on Twitter everybody is going mad over Irish pport office and dfa

however at one point I did contact the Irish consulate and they were helpful

I guess I had a better experience. And it was about June 2020. Pain in the arse for you. Hope it gets sorted.

Thanks, I hope it’s soon - leaving in six weeks so kind of worried

my sons uk passport is done however 🙌

Thank you will look for that

Your kids are entitled to become citizens through their Irish grandparents. Get their paperwork (GPs’).
My mother was born in Wales to Irish parents but returned to ROI as a toddler.
I became a citizen through my grandparents, not my mother who was not automatically Irish because of her parents. I don’t believe that is correct, the above statement that you’re automatically given Irish citizenship if you’re born outside of Ireland to an Irish person. You are certainly entitled to Irish citizenship and you’ll get it, but you still have to apply and register your foreign birth. It’s not automatic. It’s an application process for anyone applying through Irish parents/grandparents.
My own children are in the process of becoming Irish citizens through me, foreign birth.

That's not quite right. If your spouse is an Irish citizen you need to prove three years of residency, not five. I'm working on getting citizenship (DH is Irish and we live in Ireland) so that's how I know. It's a lot of paperwork and it's expensive.

I've just applied for mine as a first time applicant with an Irish parent. I read it over and over again and didn't ask me to become a citizen first. I'll then do my kids ones

You are already a citizen if you have an Irish parent.
