Hi as far as I remember the trick here is that your parents' or your grandparents ' birth should have been registered in Ireland. If so then you can get an irish passport easliy.. I think even trhough grandparents it should be OK. Getting it though grand-grand parents is a problem and very hard to get it sorted.
Hey! Sorry I haven't been here to reply sooner.
Anyway, I am applying for 'citizenship be descent'. Which means I will have my birth registered in Ireland.
Here's what you need:
Documents relating to your Grandparent
1. Full/long form Irish birth certificate.
2. Marriage license, showing grandparents' names, places of birth and ages at the time of marriage.
3. One additional certified document e.g., notarized copies of grandparents' current i.d., naturalization papers, or death certificate, if applicable.
Documents relating to your parent
1. Full/long form birth certificate showing grandparnts' names, places of birth and ages at the time of your parents' birth. Birth certificates which do not contain t his info are not sufficient in themselves to establlish a clear relationship to the Irish-born grandparent.
2.Marriage license showing parents' names, places of birth and ages at the time of marriage and if possible, showing grandparents' names and places of birth.
3.One additional certified document e.g., notarized copies of parents' i.d. (passport, drivers license) or death certificate if applicable.
You will also need similar documentation for yourself.
Obviously, they are trying to establish lineage, so the more detailed info you can supply, the better.
Since I live in Florida, I have to go thru the consulate in NYC. Ceile, for instance, living in Michigan, would go thru the consulate in Chicago.
Here are the physical/email addresses to NY and Chicago:
Consulate General of Ireland
345 Park Ave
17th Floor
New York, NY 10154-0037
Tel:212.319.2555
email:congenny@aol.com
Consulate General of Ireland
400 North Michigan Ave
Chicago,Il 60611
tel: 312.337.1868
email:irishconsulate@sbcglobal.net
They can send you the forms and additional info you'll need.
Hope that was a bit of help, any other questions please let me know.
