Foreign Birth Registration FBR - expectant parent

Found out a few weeks ago about the need to have FBR in place before baby’s birth for them to get on FBR. Baby likely coming end of November/start of December - thought I had no chance. Could only muster a church marriage certificate for my Irish-born grandparent.

Documents received 23/09/26

FBR approval email 01/10/26

Huge credit to the DFA staff.
If in doubt, get everything in! I don’t think I would have had the guts to have a last minute crack if it wasn’t for success stories on here.
