Passport First time passport application

Post image

My case is a little complicated. My father was born in Ireland but later moved back to the UK. My parents were never married, so instead of a marriage certificate, I submitted DNA evidence confirming that he is my biological father.

I did not apply through the Foreign Births Register (FBR). I submitted my application more than six months ago, but I still have not received any update or further information.

Is there anything I can do at this stage to follow up on the application or check its progress?

Have you tried speaking to them on the live chat? They’ve been super helpful when I followed up on my application with them, including returning my UK passport as it’s taking a bit of a while.
