Very similar timeline for me, and quite impressed with the speed of things (28 days from online application to passport in hand) - beating their target by about a week: Of note, my timeline is for a naturalised citizen's first-time passport from Northern Ireland 27/03/2025 - Online application ...

Out of curiosity, what is your estimated issue date? I'm a recently naturalised irish citizen residing in NI I submitted my application 27/03/25 Documents received 31/03/25 Currently 'Processing' with an estimated issue date of 30/04/25 - although I am expecting it to take a week or two beyond that ...

I just received an invitation for 13 Dec!
Applied back in March '24

That's an interesting one, and obviously I don't have any insight, but I paid back in October and received: 1. An email the day I paid, confirming that my payment had been received 2. An email 4 days later confirming that my payment had been processed and I would receive a letter in due course ...

The next ceremonies have been announced and will be held February 13 & 14th at the Convention Centre Dublin: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/upcomin ... uary-2025/

That is seriously too quick to be true :D It would be fantastic if they can keep it like that. I’ve just seen a colleague w ...

Congratulations!
What day did you apply?

I idiotically cleared out my Spam folder yesterday (emails now unrecoverable) and I'm terrified I deleted my invitation. I understand you have to select 'Yes I will attend' or 'No I cannot attend' - has anyone any insight into whether a reminder email may be sent if no response is given? Guidance is ...

Some people have received invitations today via email - a number were received in their Spam folders, so I advise everyone to check there.

Thanks for flagging that (found here: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/upcoming-citizenship-ceremony-december-2024/ and https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/citizenship-ceremonies/) I wonder if this will be for everyone* who received a letter in October, or if there will also be a ...

For what it's worth, I put in my UK Residency card number without the preceding letters I also uploaded two images of it, one for the IRP/GNIB and the other for the Residence Permit Card (along with the requested passport biometric page). The system wouldn't let me progress without uploading a ...

Thank you for your replies - skipping ILR and still obtaining UK Citizenship wasn't something I'd considered possible, but I'm quite excited by the prospect. Apparently a bill introduced by the DUP and passed into law earlier this year simplifies the process. British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Act ...

Thank you, I hadn't come across that stipulation before. My UK citizenship would be on the basis of marriage, though - so possibly acceptable. For what it's worth, I am not interested whatsoever in collecting citizenships and fully intent to reside in NI in perpetuity, I am simply trying to ensure ...

As with all things Northern Irish, I wasn't sure whether to post this in the UK or the Ireland forum so apologies if this should be moved, but I thought the experience of NI would be better captured here. I am currently living in Northern Ireland based on a UK Spousal visa - I have lived here since ...

Someone asked me about the PSNI DAT1 submission in the Timeline thread, which was deleted for the obvious reason of being off-topic. Anyway, I uploaded the letter in the portal as an additional document and then resubmitted the application. I didn't post anything. I received a confirmation of ...
