Hello charlespoppy,
If you go to www.dfa.ie (foreign birth registration ) it states if all the documents are not enclosed the application will be returned. If your mother is deceased a copy of her death certificate is all you would need. There is a phone number that you might get a more satisfactory answer, it is 011 353(0) 1 408 2555 between the hours of 10 & 1 GMT. Hope this helps Good Luck !!

I had to supply my mom's birth and death certificate in order to get my dual citizenship, along with my grandfather's ( who was born in IE).
Have you checked with IE site? Does your mother have a sister or brother who might help out? In NYS, I had to enlist the help of my aunt as I couldn't get my grandfather's death certificate (only siblings or spouse could get it). Good luck!

Hello Deb A.
I think charlespoppy's mother is still living, just doesn't have contact with her . If your parent is living you need a birth certificate and a copy of a passport or drivers license that is notorized.
In 2000, I sent away to NYC for both grandfather and grandmothers death certificates and received them with no problem. Maybe NYS changed its policy......... That about it....!!!

Hi
You have to have certified long-form birth, marriage, divorce - if divorced from your father - and death certificates for the parent through which you are claiming Irish citizenship. You don't get these from your mother but from the state in which these events took place - if she was born & lived in the US - or from Ireland if born there. Go to the website - complete list of docs & instructions - www.dfa.ie & & go to the FBR page
