I thought there is no ceremony anymore and they will send the naturalisations certificates by post, this is what I understood, am I right?
Well first they will send statuary declaration doc to sign, upon return that doc to citizenship dept. They will send naturalisation certificate in post.

Did not they say they will be sending the statutory declaration in 4 weeks after the minister announcement?
The claim for the 4 weeks came from a fellow forum member, not from the Government. Officially there's no time frame for it.

I received a letter last week from citizenship department to send 2018 P60, employments details summary for 2019 and asked me to complete the attached statutory declaration, and have it witnessed and return to the office within 28 days but there was nothing attached. I have emailed them last week to let them know but haven't got any reply yet. Shall I just send the P60 and employments details summary and write a letter to them to let them know I never received any declaration form?

At what stage of your application process are you? Are you just waiting for the Ceremony? Have you already paid the final 950 Euro fee?

So why are you posting in this thread called "Next ceremony"?

Could you please find a more appropriate thread or maybe create one if it doesn't exist already?

I have emailed INIS asking about the statutory declaration, so I got it as an answer.

“ Thank you for your email.Please note you do not require a declaration as
you already made it with your application.Continue to keep up dated with
events from our website.You will be hearing from our office in due course

Except that statutory declaration (Form 8 ) and affidavit of loyalty are two different things.

Yeah, and it seems that the affidavit of loyalty will be only for the ceremony ready folks: https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/qu ... itizenship

Update on website: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/applica ... -ceremony/

COVID-19 has unfortunately prevented the holding of our large scale citizenship ceremonies which is impacting the processing of applications. As a solution on an interim basis for applicants whose applications are approved, Minister McEntee was pleased to recently approve the priority drafting of a Statutory Instrument, whereby naturalisation certificates may issue on receipt of a statutory declaration. In this way, we hope to alleviate the delays currently impacting those seeking to start their new lives as Irish citizens.

Please continue to check our website for further announcements and updates here. It remains our intention that large scale ceremonies will recommence once circumstances allow.

HI , I Received the approval letter before 2nd Nov 2020 .
Did anyone know how to do with : drafting of a Statutory Instrument
how to do it ?
Citizenship will send the form of Drafting or
I do not know what to do ?

Thanks you .

A legal instrument needs to be drafted by legal experts, and will need to be debated and approved by the legislative bodies, so it may take some time. I'm just a bit disappointed that they abandoned the idea about the virtual ceremony.

My interpretation of their latest announcement (the one you quoted) is that they are working on creating a tool (a form, a declaration, who knows) which will be sent to everybody awaiting for the ceremony. This tool will replace the ceremony. Nobody knows for sure what will be. By what they have said so far, I m expecting it will be a form sent to your home address which you'll have to sign and return to them. I don't work with the Department and all this is an interpretation of the latest announcement from the Department of Justice.
We only need to wait and see what they come up with.
I really hope that they will act soon. I have paid the 950 Bank Draft in January 2020 and been waiting for a Ceremony since then.
Good luck to everybody.

The Minister for Justice made it clear yesterday: "It is intended that the regulations will be finalised early in 2021"

No chance this year :roll:

Yeah :( Early in 2021 can be in February or March. Most likely January and maybe February will be another L5 restrictions after Christmas travels.
