Naturalisation Application for Minor

JACKY123 · Post by **JACKY123** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 11:27 am

Did anybody recently applied for Minor Naturalisation after parents received Citizenship ?

Currently How many months is the whole process taking ?

After applying when full process is completed, do they receive approval letter and citizenship cert ?

Would like to know what is differnt from Parents process.

Any info highly appreciated.

Thanks

I am in the same situation. called INIS and been told that it could take anywhere between 6-12 months. somebody in this forum told that we will be notified in a letter and then we send 200 euro and get he cert, nop need for court appearance if the minor is age below 16. let me know if you heard otherwise, i am interested to know this too.

Hi Jacky

I'm worried that by the time INIS gets around to processing my son's application, he would have already turned 18. I submitted his application about 10 days shy of his 17th birthday.

Would that make a difference seeing as he was a minor at the time of the application? For example, if a 17 year old committed a crime, but was 19 at the time of the trial, he would still be considered a minor before sentencing.

Thats a bad example, but Ive been awake for over 24 hours now.

I think cos his status changes from a minor dependendent at 17 to an adult at 18. What legal status will he have in the country when he reaches 18. I think that is her concern.

Not so much legal status since he has dual French/American citizenship. He doesn't have to register with the GNIB or to ever have to deal with the immigration people in INIS.

On the other hand, I decided to apply for naturalisation for him since he has a keen interest in all things Asian and Japanese. So following his eventual graduation from university, he intends to apply for the JET programme. Now there seems to be some restrictions to this programme about applications from permanent residents of participating countries. So in short, it to facilitate him later on.

I just wonder what happens if the application hasn't been processed before his 18th birthday. Will they simply reject the application and advise that he re-apply as an adult with all of the attendant hassles, delays and residency requirements (namely periods of study are excluded) or will they still approve it?

It's a bit of a muddle really--and a muddle that would be entirely avoidable if INIS actually processed applications in an efficient and timely manner.

After making an application for the minor with the required documents, is there anything else required? Further documention?

Or is it just that after the acknowledgement the certificate appears in the post?

I believe that to be the case. Couldnt see them requiring further information.

You'll probably receive notification for payment of the fee prior to issuing the cert

Just to inform that I received my minor son's approval letter today. Applied in July 2009. Submitted the documents listed on INIS website for minor naturalisation and never made any phone calls to INIS!

I need info please! I'm about sending my child's application. One of the requested documents is the certified long form certificate.

The birth certificate from our country of birth is not 'long' in any way. I submitted the same kind of birth certificate for myself during my own application and they still requested a Birth Affidavit from me.

*Will this birth certificate be accepted for my child?
*Does a foreign certificate have to be certified by a solicitor as well?
*Will the child (9yr old) be asked for a birth affidavit?

I'd appreciate answers to these questions. Thanks for all your help!

Hi AShawna,

I am in the same position with you. In the process of sending application for my child as well, just waiting on letter from social welfare as my child is only two years in school.

I concur about the birth certificate not being 'long'

. I do think the cert will be acceptable if it contains the necessary info i.e Father's full name, mother's full name, place of birth, date of birth and child'd birth registration number. Of course, It would have to be officially translated if not in English and the copy has to be certified by a solicitor as per the instruction on form 9.
