View answerForeign Births Registration, by its nature, can be a detailed and complex process, often involving official documentation related to three generations and issued by several jurisdictions. Applications requiring clarification or further documents take longer to process.
With regard to the specific applications the Deputy has enquired about, I can confirm that the Foreign Births Registration team in my Department is in direct contact with the two applicants concerned, in relation to further required documentation. On receipt of the required documentation, the applications for Foreign Births Registration can be processed, in accordance with the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956, as amended.
