You May Qualify for Irish Citizenship!

Under the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956,, having an Irish-born great grandparent may qualify you for Irish citizenship through descent, but only if your parent was registered in the Foreign Births Register (FBR) before you were born. If your parent was not registered in the FBR before your birth, you are not eligible for Irish citizenship through your great grandparent.

If eligible, the application process requires registering in the Foreign Births Register (FBR) and providing comprehensive documentation that proves your family connection.

Once your FBR registration is approved, you can apply for an Irish passport. Ireland permits dual citizenship, allowing you to maintain your current nationality while claiming Irish citizenship.
