Foreign Births Registration, by its nature, can be a detailed and complex process. The establishment of the new Foreign Births Registration team at the beginning of this year has introduced a short delay in the processing of applications.
Due to the complex nature of Foreign Births Registration, it takes on average between 6 to 12 months to process an application.
With regard to the specific application the Deputy has enquired about given the exceptional circumstances the application is currently under expedited review and assuming that all the application is in order we expect the FBR to issue later this month.
