Good idea. Incidentally, the full site has a lengthy checklist of things to do before and after the move.

: Thank you Andy and CJ; see, that is my
: confusion, the two different answers. On the
: one hand, when I get my irish passport (just
: now have the birth certificate and marriage
: license of mom's so will be sending it off
: soon), then I need to take the Irish
: passport and my license and apply to the
: Irish consulate for 'citizenship'? So seems
: I could move with just the passport but it
: will be better if I do the added and get the
: citizenship papers? Especially given they
: are making it harder now for non citizens of
: eu to get jobs and so on.

: To clarify, you are not a citizen, but you
: are
: eligible to become one since your Mom was
: born in Ireland. Once the Irish government
: sends you a citizenship certificate, then
: you are a citizen, and eligible to get an
: Irish passport. When I applied for
: citizenship 2 years ago, I think I needed 2
: proofs of identity (passport and driver's
: license). I would contact the closest Irish
: consulate to you and they should be able to
: give you specific details on what you need
: to provide.

: Hi all.
: I've just started reading and investigating
: and I"m a bit confused; if I want to
: get my citizenship (Mom born in Leitrim),
: and I manage to get her long birth cert. and
: parents marriage cert., send along with
: passport app., does the passport act as my
: 'proof of citizenship'? Or is there
: something else I apply for, that being
: 'citizenship' first. Everything I read says
: that I AM a citizen already given mom's
: birth, so perhaps I only need the passport.
: If anyone knows, has had the same situation
: I appreciate clarification. I want to move
: to Ireland sometime in the next few years,
: sell home here first, rent there for awhile
: (with enough funds saved to hold off
: without/until I get a job). But I'm not
: clear on what documents I need. Thanks!
