"The Witness must be resident in
the State"
I am from Belfast Northern Ireland.
Should I go to Ireland to find witness ?
Help me please.
Thank you
I don't think anybody here will provide you with definite answer. You should probably ask the in the email.

I live in NI and going to go to the same solicitor who witnessed documents and statutory declaration for my application. Seems reasonable enough, I wouldn't worry about it

Hi all,

Could anyone please clarify on the submission of IRP card as to whether coloured soft copy would suffice to submit?

I had already submitted physical card in Jan 2020 as part of submitting documents in the hope of receiving ceremony invitation letter but missed to receive until now. Please share your opinions/shed any knowledge on the IRP card submission.

Currently, I am submitting below documents by post:
1. Notary Signed Affidavit
2. Colour copy of Passport (First and Last pages only)
3. Colour copyof IRP Card (as mentioned above, physical card had already been submitted)

It would be great (and may be helpful to all of us), if the aforementioned document list can be cross-checked and share your inputs, if everything is fine or not.

Thank you...

I actually thought about it too after I posted the envelope. However I attached a letter in the pack explaining that I already submitted my IRP card back in Jan/Feb and it's with Citizenship division. If I were you - I'd supply a colour copy just to be sure, however they only mentioned to provide one - which we already did.

Hi all,
Congratulations to all the people that have received the email. For the ones who didn't, don't give up hopes. It's just a matter of time.

My question: anyone able to recommend me a "notary public, commissioner for oaths, solicitor, or a peace commissioner, and authorised to take and receive statutory declarations" ?
Needs to be based in Dublin

Thanks in advance

The forum rule doesn't allow any recommendation of solicitors. Plus, it's just a signature witness. Any qualified solicitor can do that. You just open up Google Map, put in your address and search for solicitors around your home. Make a few phone calls and work out the best rate.

Is anybody received their affidavit along with their approval or just how already have approval and just they require affidavit along with a color photo of 1st page of current passport.
I am still waiting for the decision since Feb. 2017 but my husband got his decision in March 2020 and I hadn't filled email address in my application form when I applied for the certificate of naturalization but after that i sought update many times through email address. I don't know and confused whether will they consider my email address as my contact details or not?
If anybody have any information/clue in this regard please share here.

The temporary system is for already approved, "ceremony ready" applicants, as far as I know.

Just started a fresh topic here for anyone who is in the same boat as me who have been approved already and are just waiting on either an affidavit to be sent out to sign to get your certificate or announcement of next ceremony.
Pleas try to only post here in relation to this only so we have up to date and relevant info.
Hi dear friend.
I have Approval letter waiting for next affidavit to sign. But it seem that We wouldn’t get any affidavit for next few months!!
I have red on news today the Citizenship office has allows to send affidavit for those Doctors have been waiting for so long and they said they are on front line. Dealing with pandemic Covid 19 Patient. 2400 doctors have received affidavit already.

I don’t think they send affidavit to anyone else. They said Doctors should be first. And there are over 6 thousand Doctors have have been waiting for there Naturalization.

Good Morning

I have been following these threads on behalf of a friend, UK citizen who got his "approval" and sent fees and photo in January 2020, he received his email the other day.

In accordance with government covid guidelines, he has hardly left his house since last March, he is regarded as vulnerable due to his age. In view of the crisis is there any provision for remote witnessing of the signature?

I fully understand it there could be difficulties if such a system were introduced.

Yes you can. I googled peace commissioners/councillors in my area. Contacted some via email and facebook and then one got back to me. They met outside my building the very next day and witnessed the signature, stamped etc in the car park. All socially distanced and wearing masks.

I think just look around and depending on your area they should be able to meet your friend. Good luck.

I was just wondering are the 4000 applicants being sent the affidavits only those who got an approval letter to pay the €950 back before March 2020 and the ones who got the same approval letter recently? Just wondering for my mom’s application

No body can give you an exact answer, but I think it will be for all approved, unless the number of "4000" matters, and I dont think so just to allow a certain number of applications each year.I think the number matters only when there is an in person ceremony, as the venue will have a limited capacity, but in case of the current process I think it is an easy process to include all, including your mom hopefully.

You do realise that there are multiple people in this very thread that have received the affidavit right?

There's no provision for 'remote' witnessing as far as I understand, but most solicitors nowadays will simply stand very far away from the applicant. The solicitor beside my neighbourhood asks all documents to be signed on the front door of his house. He has a small desk outside the front door. You take your own pen, sign the document at the desk, and he simply stands inside the house next to the window so that he can see your signature. Once you sign the paper, the solicitor comes outside, puts in the stamps and signatures required, and leave it there.
