Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
127. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs for an update on an application for foreign birth registration (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48478/23]
View answerForeign Birth Registration (FBR) applications are currently being processed within the normal turnaround time of 8 months from receipt of supporting documents. Applications which require further supporting documents will take longer to process. Foreign Birth Registration, by its nature, is a detailed and complex process, often involving official documentation relating to three generations and issued by several jurisdictions. Such documents take considerable time to validate. With regard to the specific Foreign Birth Registration applications about which the Deputy has enquired, these applications have been approved. Certificates will issue to the applicants shortly.
