Please I need help/advice on what to write? Child was born in the state and has EU passport since birth.
Form 9 Naturalized adult on behalf of minor.
Questions: SECTION 4 (RESIDENCY DETAILS) MINOR
4:1 = Date of arrival in Ireland ?
4:2 = Passport number ?
4:3 = Number of years resident in state ?

I'd assume DOB, EU passport number and child's age?
You can also go for a passport if you (as a EU citizen) lived in Ireland for 3 out of 4 years before child's birth, just in case you're applicable.

Thank you very much for your advice, It's just confusing as child never arrived in Ireland but was born in Ireland? We did not have 3 out of 4 years back then.

If you wish, throw in a cover letter to explain it. The form is aimed to cater for most circumstances and it's used way more often in cases where child was born outside on the State compared to your situation.

I think you should check if Form 9 is for you, I think it might be Form 11 instead. I am not 100% sure, better to double check

Thanks for your input, I am already naturalized and only applying on behalf of my minor child on form 9.

Absolutely, Thanks. Like I mentioned as a naturalized citizen I can use either forms but I choose form 9 as I meet the criteria.

No one received any communications except the ones that approved the citizenship from October 2022. Not even the acknowledgment.

Hey guys, i am in a weird situation where me and my wife both got Irish passport recently and we applied for Kid's afterwards. It turns out Kid's existing Indian passport is due to expire this month end and when i applied to Embassy for a renewal they sent the application back stating it can't be done as none of the parents are Indian anymore.

It turns out Kid will be without a valid passport if situation remains the same and looking at posts a kid's application can take long time too.

Anyone have encountered similar situation or have any suggestions what our options are now?
Thanks in advance.

This is crazy, how can a child be stateless ? Currenly your child is indian citizen on it's own, not because he's your child, so his nationality has no link with yours . I suggest to visit Indian Embassy physically & check & explain.

If you still have Indian citizenship I presume child can get passport under some special circumstances (child has no other passport). If you are not Indian citizens anymore, I’d say this is the case for Irish citizenship. Maybe you can send them a letter explaining your problem, they might take your child case as urgent

https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/acquisition1.htm
A person born outside India on or after 3rd Decmber, 2004 shall not be a citizen of India, unless the parents declare that the minor does not hold passport of another country and his birth is registered at an Indian consulate within one year of the date of birth or with the permission of the Central Government, after the expiry of the said period.
Since the child had an Indian passport, I assume the declaration was submitted and child was registered? Then use it to state child isn't naturalized, so no other nationality for him is possible.

Indians cannot hold dual citizenship.
As child had an Indian passport, they should have been registered with consulate to get it. Citizenship doesn't usually disappear just because of the parents' status.

I am sure child still has Indian citizenship, the only problem is that parents have to apply for his passport on behalf of their child. Since parents have no Indian citizenship anymore, they can’t apply. Child would be able to get passport if he is over 18, but under 18 parents apply for it.

What the approximate time minor application processed (form 9) - the same as adults?
And what's faster form 9 or form 11?

More or less it is the similar timelines of adult applications. In comparison with Forms 9 and 11, form 9 is simple to fill out.

That is exactly what the situation is. I sent them en email after my post here last week and no response yet. Sent them a follow up again today. They must have some kind of alternative here as kid will be stateless otherwise which doesn't make any sense as he is by birth an India citizen unless renounced, which he clearly hasn't.

The naturalization process for children can be complex, especially when they are in foster care, so it's important to get professional help from [content deleted by moderator] to ensure all the necessary steps are taken. It's also important to remember that the child's parent or legal guardian must sign the naturalization application, which can be challenging if the child is in foster care. Therefore, making sure the child is connected with their parent or guardian is key.

Hello all, has anyone received a letter saying that child’s application is being submitted to the Minister?? It is signed by a person (name visible rather than the name of the office). How long does it take after this step, does anyone know??? Thank you all
