Notary Public for US Citizenship Documents Cork — USCIS and US Embassy

US citizenship applications, whether through naturalisation, citizenship by descent (jus sanguinis), or other pathways, often require authenticated Irish documentation. Hugh Phelan, notary public in Douglas, Cork, provides expert certification of all documents required by USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services), the US Embassy in Dublin, and other US government agencies.

• Diversity Visa (DV Lottery) winners — supporting documentation
• K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa applications requiring Irish supporting documents
• CR-1/IR-1 Spouse Visa applications for married couples
• US Embassy Dublin interview requirements for non-immigrant visas

Apostille for US Government Submissions

The USA is a Hague Convention country. Documents notarised by Hugh Phelan must be apostilled by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs before they are accepted by USCIS or the US Embassy. Hugh Phelan will advise on which documents require apostille for your specific application.

Irish Ancestry and US Citizenship

Many Americans of Irish descent wish to formalise their US citizenship or assist Irish relatives in obtaining US immigration status based on their US citizen ancestry. This process requires careful documentation including original birth certificates, marriage records, and sometimes naturalization papers — all going back potentially several generations.
