A lot. Just wait a couple of months.

Yikes. It just doesn't make sense considering they have my passport details, so logically they should have an application number. Although organization is not their strong point...

Passports have to be checked to ensure they are not counterfeit or altered in any way. This is crucial part of establishing identity of a person. They must be using special equipment or tools to check passports. It is also very likely that they are not allowed to take passports home. I've sent them...

From what I’ve been told, any new application’s cant be processed from home for data protection reasons. Which means staff need to be in the office to do so. Given Ireland is now in tier 5 again... I’m questioning if there are any staff in the office to process all these new applications. My guess ...

I am in a similar situation. Application submitted on 8th September and no news since then. Don't even know when i will get my original passports back. Should i send them an email and ask about it ? At least an email would be good to know that they have recieved the applications. WHATTTTT?!?! You w...

It's honestly not that difficult to see if the money is there, that all the pages are there, the statutory declaration is completed etc. Passport verification could be done on site using all the necessary precautions. Rapid testing of the employees could easily solve the problem.The applications ha...

They have communicated this to you. You were advised that there will be significant delay with returning passports. I waited 5 months and had no problem with it because I read the warning. The country is facing another lock-down. Very unlikely that their capacity will be reduced even further. Be pa...

I more mean communicated with us through giving more regular updates about whether or not they are working. You’re right in that they warned us about delays, but it would be helpful to hear about some form of status of things nonetheless. @Martin79, I think you were lucky and got to it before the l...

Expecting my letter of approval along with my acknowledgment letter

I sent my application for naturalization on the 5th of September. An Post claims it was signed for by an xxxxxxx on the 7th of September. I have been waiting for a phone call or email ever since. I understand that no applications are processed during lock-down, but it's honestly ridiculous at this s...

Hi All, I have a question in relation to return of original passport. How long is the citizenship department taking to return the passport? I have submitted my citizenship application on 2.11.2020.
