Our Irish Passport Service

We provide a free of charge application, renewal and witness–only appointment service here at the London Irish Centre.  

This service is aimed at supporting those who need additional help in processing and accessing their Irish identity documents. We provide this service for both adult and child applicants.  

Due to high demand, all appointments must be pre-booked (we do not offer a drop-in service).  

The government fee for all passport applications and renewal processing is €90. We take this payment by bank card, on your behalf, at the end of your appointment.

Irish Citizenship through a Grandparent – Foreign Birth Registration (FBR)  

3rd Generation applicants who qualify through an Irish born grandparent must complete Irish Citizenship via a Foreign Birth Registration (FBR) before they are eligible to apply for a passport.   

The London Irish Centre do not undertake or witness / certify Foreign Birth Registrations (FBR’s). 

All FBR Citizenship applications must be completed independently.   watchonlinemoviescom

There is a dedicated FBR Team in Dublin, who can be contacted directly via phone or webchat via the DFA website.

Once your FBR application has been approved we will gladly complete and witness your first time passport application.    Streaming doesn't have to be a solo activity

Applying for your Irish Passport after FBR approval

You will need to bring the following to your appointment: content and licensing considerations

• Your original FBR certificate
