Irish Citizenship
|
|
Thank you for all your research. It has paid off. I received my Irish citizenship and am applying for a passport. Big thanks and appreciation -Jean Benton |
The following is a summary of the documents usually needed for
the application, to provide you with a general idea of what you will need in
most circumstances. However, this list should not be treated as definitive.
For an official listing of documents needed, as well as additional details about
the type and content of documents required, you should see an official Irish
government web site, such as that of the
Embassy of Ireland
in Washington, D.C.
Concerning your Irish-born grandparent, 3 documents are normally required
for the application:
1. An official copy of the grandparent's full, long form Irish birth
certificate: Ireland began to centrally register civil birth record in 1864 (see
"civil registration"). If your grandparent's
birth was not registered or if it occurred before 1864, a church christening
record (see "church records") may be acceptable as a
substitute.
2. An official copy of the grandparent's marriage license/certificate.
3. If the grandparent is deceased, an official copy of the grandparent's death
certificate; if the grandparent is living, a current official photo I.D. (such
as a driver's license or passport).
If you would like our assistance in obtaining these records, please ask us for a free estimate.
Concerning your parent born to this Irish-born grandparent, you will normally
also need 3 documents:
1. An official copy of your parent's birth certificate: This document must show
your grand parents' names, their places of birth and their ages at the time of
your parent's birth.
2. An official copy of your parents' marriage license/certificate.
3. If the parent is deceased, an official copy of the parent's death
certificate; if the parent is living, a current official photo I.D.
If you would like our assistance in obtaining these records,
please ask us for a
free estimate.
Regarding yourself (the applicant), you will need these documents:
1. An official copy of your birth certificate: It must show your parents'
names, places of birth and ages at the time of your birth.
2. If your name has changed since birth, you must show documentation of this.
For example, if you changed your name when you married, you will need to provide
an official copy of your marriage license/certificate.
3. Two recent passport type photographs.
4. Notarized copy of current US passport (if held).
5. Notarized copies of three additional proofs of identity.
