Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 April 2023
126. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will outline the process in place for the foreign birth registration of a child born to a mother born in the US who is an Irish citizen and a US-citizen father where the parents want to apply for an Irish passport for their child. [19198/23]
View answerWith regard to the specific case about which the Deputy has enquired, the parents can apply for Foreign Birth Registration on behalf of their child through my Department's website. Details on how to apply and the requirements for the application can be found here www.dfa.ie/citizenship/born-abroad/registering-a-foreign-birth/ Registering a foreign birth - Department of Foreign Affairs (dfa.ie). The turnaround time for the application will begin from the date that the Passport Service receives the supporting documents. The Passport Service will contact the parent directly in relation to their query.
