It's just weird that the legislation explicitly doesn't allow certificate replacement, but gives you a letter which de facto is a certificate replacement.

I did a quick search and all of the few countries I checked (USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) have a service for replacing the certificate of naturalization, which makes the fact that you can't do it here even more mysterious.

no extra copies are issued under any circumstances I wonder, how would that affect someone who lost the certificate. Is the "confirmation letter" sufficient in all possible situations instead of certificate? Why one can order a birth certificate if it's lost, but naturalized citizen can't order a c...

The first batch of affidavits will be likely be sent and requested to be completed in January 2021

Do you have a source?

I never dealt with such platforms and I can only speculate that maybe yes, if you can use it as a bank account. But don't call me on that.
Maybe someone else with more knowledge on the matter can enlighten us here.

You definitely are not going the get it back if it's a proof of residence. I think the only original document that they require is your passport. Even your birth certificate will also have to be sent as a copy, but certified as true to the original (and translated). There is no requirement for the p...

Hey, - There's no need to add squares, just write the name with block capitals. - Person-id is given to you once you apply for citizenship. If you are applying for the first time you can skip that, or just write N/A in or near the field. - Well if you can't remember the exact street number, you coul...

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 can't edit my previous post)

I've read the above link and it seems to me that the new measures will be for future applicants, but that's only my understanding and speculation.

Good news! Thanks for sharing! · eTax-clearance and eVetting to be introduced for citizenship applicants as part of Minister McEntee’s digital reform agenda to modernise the Justice Sector This is interesting. Do you guys think that current applicants (approved/waiting for approval) have yet to appl...

Thanks for posting!

Same with me. Approved in January, paid fee, but didn't get invitation for the March ceremony and then Covid hit us.

I don't think it's likely to have one big scale ceremony simply because it will be difficult to verify and track everyone attending. What we could possibly get is few smaller ceremonies like in Canada: Since April 1, Canada has held over 1,000 virtual citizenship ceremonies. https://www.cicnews.com/...

According to a parliamentary question, they are working on the idea of virtual ceremonies (testing it anyway) https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2020-06-30/299/?highlight%5B0%5D=citizenship&highlight%5B1%5D=citizenship Happy to see this! BTW how are they going to notify people for the ev...

By the way this is another example of country (Australia) that held citizenship ceremonies online:

Hi guys, I paid the €950 fee for naturalization on 29th of January this year, but didn't get an invitation for a ceremony, and then got caught by the COVID-19 crysis. Is there anyone else in my situation? It's been 4.5 months since I sent the money and there's no real timeline of when/if I will atte...

Hey guys,

Did most of you tried to get a confirmation via email/phone if your Bank draft with €950 is received by the INIS Team?

I just wonder.

On next week, aprx. On 5th Wednesday and 6th Thursday of February CitizenShip Office will send thousands invitations for Oath in Killarney.
So, need to wait for invitation just 3 more days!!!

Hi , how do you know. Did you call them? Maybe after the election?

I'm also curious

I don't have a car, so that definitely means 2 days (at least)! Thanks

Do you guys know at what time are usually the ceremonies and how long it takes? Is it necessary to arrive in the town on the previous day/night to be able to attend? (I'm from Dublin)

I'm not sure if one day off from work will be enough to get there and go back...

As someone stated before, they probably will start sending them 2-3 weeks in advance of the ceremonies. It's still too early.

Maybe they are waiting to get responses with payment of the fee from enough people first.

Hdsgnr congrats - what was your timeline? Thanks! I applied in the middle of July 2019, got my second stage letter around the end of October (I think?), and finally the approval on 26th of January. Roughly 6 months. I guess a big chunk of my lifetime luck allowance was spent to get it so fast. Anyw...

Thanks. No didn't do anything except wait and send them the occasional email to ask for update on my case. Applied in september 2016, got my 2nd stage letter in april 2017. No communication after that till 2 days ago when I got the approval letter. So waiting as well can help, I applied Feb 2018 an...
