My mother is applying for an Irish passport through descent - once she have hers, can I apply for one?
My mother is American whose grandparents are Irish-born. She is eligable for an Irish passport. Once she is granted her passport, she is technically considered an Irish citizen. Does that mean that I can go and get one then?
Answers: "Since 1 July 1986, a soul registered in the Foreign Births Entry Book after 1986 is deem to be an Irish citizen only from the date of his/her entry contained by the Register and not from the date of birth.
This means that children born to that entity before his/her date of entry surrounded by the Register are not entitled to citizenship."
As far as I know you cant. Your parent or grandparent have to be born in the country. If it be the case that you could apply for citizenship, afterwards most of the world would be considered Irish citizens. Ring the Irish embassay over there, or jump onto their website, you should find out for definite in attendance No I don't think so. "Unless at least possible one parent or grandparent was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, you cannot claim Irish citizenship on the starting place of extended previous ancestry (i.e. ancestors other than your parents or grandparents). " See http://www.citizensinformation.ie/catego...
which is where on earth I got the quote from
Yep - you of course can! I am most likely going to do like peas in a pod thing. Well, you must go and get citizenship first, but only after your mother does.
There are profusely of things you need however. The website will saunter you through the steps of application.
Slainte!
