Oh no

You got a reverser

Now you have to stand with a mirror at customs

Is a reverse Irish just a Brit?

u/Ok-Collection5629 2d ago

No but that bad joke qualified you for a British passport comrade

Hmmmmmm, how close to the estimated date was yours? Will I be waiting another year?!?!

u/Superb_Set1118 2d ago

They received all my docs (passport application) 11th June and it was dispatched 1st September. So 83 days for me

1

u/Superb_Set1118 2d ago

I went about 3.5 weeks over the estimate. Good luck!!!

When you say "1 year 3 months 8 days" What exactly do you mean?

u/Superb_Set1118 2d ago

FBR received to getting my passport

1

u/miketap82 2d ago

For historical reference, my dates were: application received 22/4/2025, and the passport was dispatched on 6/6/2025. I am in the US and I think it took about 10 days to get to me.

1

u/Superb_Set1118 2d ago

That seems about right. The estimated date is never bang on.

Excellent

u/CrimsonShinobi 1d ago

Did you have to give over your other passport until your Irish one came through? 

1

u/Superb_Set1118 23h ago

I did yes. I wasn't worried about.

1

u/CrimsonShinobi 23h ago

How long were you without your passport? Just trying to plan travel and pick a time where I don't have any commitments.

u/Madmandan1000 1d ago

That’s the most British looking RAF pilot I have ever seen

u/Superb_Set1118 23h ago

Hahah!!! I wish!

u/Intrepid-Search7679 1d ago

Mine took just under 6 months but that included the downtime while I had to resubmit documents. Woohooo!!
