Hi there, am new to this so need some help with my problem. I have recently applied for an Irish passport, although I was born in the UK. My father was born in Tyrone as was my grandfather. The application was declined due to the fact the name on his birth certificate was Bernard Francis but on mine his name is Brian Francis. The Irish passport office want to know when he 'changed' his name. He didn't..... He was always called Brian from a young age as his father's name was Bernard. As my father passed away 26 yrs ago and I was also raised by Foster parents, I have no way of actually providing the 'proof' they need... Has anyone else been in this situation?
