– K Donahue
“Highly recommend Leanne and Gibson & Associates.
Working to obtain Irish citizenship through the FBR with Leanne at Gibson & Associates was truly the best experience. Leanne was so helpful, answering my questions promptly and thoroughly. Everything went smoothly and so much better than if I had attempted it on my own. I am so grateful!”
– Jami Schewe
“Leanne at Gibson & Associates did a great job getting me Irish citizenship through the FBR process. The leg work was challenging but fun and emotional to see the birth records of all my grandparents and aunts and uncles going back to great great grandparents . As a lawyer myself it was very nice to have a knowledgably Irish law firm with expertise help me through the process.”
– Matt
– Lynn
A heart felt thanks to the team at Gibson & Associates LLP who have helped secure my FBR application. My case was somewhat complex which added to the length of the process, but the team have supported and guided me with regards to getting the correct documentation and have advocated on my behalf with the authorities. I can’t thank them enough and I am over the moon with the outcome.”

FAQs Citizenship
Am I eligible for Irish Citizenship?
Eligibility depends on your family connection to Ireland, including whether you have an Irish-born parent, grandparent or other qualifying ancestry. Our team can assess your circumstances and advise on the most suitable citizenship pathway available to you.
What documents will I need?
Most applications require birth certificates, marriage certificates, identity documents and records proving your family link to an Irish citizen or Irish-born ancestor. The exact documents required will depend on your individual circumstances and application route.
How long does the process take?
Processing times vary depending on the application type, the completeness of supporting documents and current demand. Delays can occur where additional information is requested, making it important to submit a complete and accurate application.
Can my children benefit?
In some circumstances, children may also qualify for Irish citizenship based on their family heritage or through a parent’s citizenship status. Eligibility will depend on several factors, including family history and the timing of citizenship registration.
What if I cannot locate family documents?
Missing documents do not always prevent an application from proceeding. Alternative records may be available through civil authorities, archives or other official sources. We can help identify possible options based on your circumstances.
What happens during the consultation?
During your consultation, we will review your family history, discuss your eligibility, identify any documentation requirements and explain the available pathways to Irish citizenship. You will receive tailored legal advice based on your circumstances.
Do I need to travel to Ireland?
Most citizenship applications can be prepared and submitted without travelling to Ireland. Many applicants complete the process from overseas, although requirements can vary depending on the type of application and individual circumstances.
