Date of Ceremony: None - Certificate of naturalization received 16/03/2022

27/08/2020 - Phone call (private number) to confirm address. 01/09/2020 received passports back, as well as the payment confirmation and application number. The letter says that the application is being processed and that they will contact me in case they need any other clarification / documentation, otherwise my file will be forwarded to the minister, in which case I will hear back from them „in due course” or as soon a decision has been made:) Timeframe for a straightforward application is 12 months.

UPDATE 12/12/2020

The letter that I have received today is the exact copy (word by word) of the letter I received on 27/08/2020. :roll:
UPDATE 23/02/2022

Just received the letter asking to pay 950 EUR and sign the Declaration of Fidelity. Paid and posted on the same day.
UPDATE 16/03/2022

Naturalization certificate received
