Re: Irish Citizenship
I am not sure of the answer there as I had the relevant parent had passed away.
However just to update in the meantime., I recently finally received the certificate that I was successfully added to the FBR, so they were satisfied with my explanations and did not request any further information. It took a bit less than a year. I have not yet applied for the passport as I need my passport in early May so I will wait till afterwards.

Re: Irish Citizenship
Rather than starting new thread I’ll revive this one.
My wife has now managed to pull all of her documents together with the exception of her (living) mothers ID. Shes in her 80’s, resides in the UK, she’s never had a passport, never driven and so has no formal photo ID. Does anyone know what else could be acceptable for a FBR application? I’ve tried calling several times for clarification but can never get through. Thanks in advance.

The Post Office have an ID checking service but I'm not sure it would be possible without any current or expired forms of photo ID.

Re: Irish Citizenship
This is a common problem and I believe the way to get around it is to contact a local solicitor and ask them to carry out a formal identity check and issue a certificate. I think it might involve swearing an affidavit but I would sound them out first and make sure they do home visits to make life easier.
