Get a copy of your birth cert from an office of the Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths ?

Thats where The Jackal started.

Sorry, I think I'm reading this wrong. Why was your passport in Ireland if you're in New York?

Out of curiosity, how did you get to NYC if your passport was stolen in Ireland?

Ask your parents to get a birth cert sent to you.

Btw, if you get to Dublin custom - just put on a Dub accent and a tracksuit. They'll let you back in.

Worked for that dude in Paris anyhow. Maybe one day Tom Hanks could play The_Dazzler in a movie of his life too?

Did you get the garda report of stolen goods ?

Did you notified the authorities here ?

Did you ever get a pps number here ?

Did you ever regsitered for tax here ?

Did you ever got a driving license ?

If you have none of the above then yo should be on the Jack sparrow ship !

I think you are just taking the piss.

Find a copy of In America or one of those films with Irish people that move to America, it could save your life. Good luck!

That has "GREAT PLAN" written all over it alright.

Does having it confiscated by the immigration autorities constitute "stolen" by any chance?

Get a replacement birth cert from Lombard Street.
Apply to consulate.

Do not put a lot of faith in Irish databases. They are as good as the weeble that is entering the data.

I can't wait for the "posting on boards.ie" scene. It'll be cool though, because Hanks has computer skills - he was in a movie about getting email wasn't he?

OP if you really did post your passport home for any other person to use, you are an idiot.

Is it wrong that I lol'd at this... Also, is it a set-up, surely is?

OP, you were playing a risky game sending your passport home in the post. And by saying "playing a risky game" I mean "being a fucking idiot"!!
