Foreign Birth 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 generally take 6 months to process from the time all of the required documentation has been submitted to the Foreign Births Registration team. 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 Birth Registration team in my Department has been in direct contact with the applicants to request further documentation.
