 *Please note that the Consulate General of Ireland San Francisco does not processes Foreign Birth Registrations (FBR) - obtaining Irish citizenship through an Irish-born grandparent, and can not advise on or access FBR applications. Processing of Foreign Birth registration has resumed in Dublin on a phased basis from Monday 15 November, 2021. At present, due to the complex nature of the Foreign Birth Registration and the pause in the Service due to the Covid-19 restrictions you should allow approximately 2 years for processing of Foreign Birth Registration applications at this time. For help with FBR applications, check out this instructional video. **Please note processing times in video are no longer accurate, for up to date information visit the FBR hub.

Due to the high volume of visa applications processed at the Consulate General of Ireland, we cannot provide status updates on visa applications. Please note that we will do our best to accommodate your travel dates and will only contact you if anything is wrong with your application. See here for visa fees and more information on processing visas.
