It seems (from one of his previous posts) that he got his approval last February.

May thanks littlerr.littlerr wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:57 pmThe reason is that you need to post a number of documents to them for a first-time application. Level 5 prevents any staff from travelling to the work place at the moment, so nobody will be in the office opening envelopes during this period.
You should apply only when the restriction is reduced to Level 4 or below, when passport office staff can return to the work place.
Of course you can fill in your application form now and get Gardai to sign your application form etc. Just don't send anything to the passport office.

I don’t think they will say nothing if your going to submit a important letterluckyfish1985 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:30 pmHi MiMi,
Is this possible for you to check with Police in Belfast that you can travel to Dublin to submit this document? Hope they will allow (as I can see you waited for these 2 + years) all the very best![]()
I got it signed from a solicitor from Clondalkin area.They are open. Search for solicitors in google..and call all of themglebeh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 4:25 pmHello all
Can anyone please advise on which commissioner for oaths, solicitor, or a peace commissioner who is authorised to take and receive statutory declarations. The ones that I have contacted are telling me they are not doing anything until restrictions have been lifted. I have noticed some have got their citizenship certificates already. I cant wait forever especially after having waited for 2 years. County Meath or Dublin preferably but don't mind travelling if push comes to shove.
I am still waiting for the certificate (received the email with an affidavit on 20/01 and my signed declaration was delivered on 27/01). I think my issue is that my declaration was witnessed in NI by a NI solicitor (my best shot in the lockdown conditions). I sent them an email asking if there is an issue with my declaration and received a copy-paste reply "wait 6 weeks, then contact us".

Similar situation, got approval letter last February 2020 and paid fee. Missed out on ceremony and then Covid struck. Still waiting for the email regarding affidavit.loyaleyz wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 1:33 amHi Everyone,anongirl wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:22 amAnyone here who got approved and paid the fee in jan/feb 2020 still waiting on affidavit to be emailed to them like myself :/ ?
I know they said “phased” basis but it’s disheartening to see that there is no order to this at all when people only newly approved since October have started receiving theirs. Happy for everyone who does, just sucks waiting so long and nothing still...
Yes I got approval letter back in February 2020. I submitted €950 photographs and Garda card, but still waiting for affidavit since. Is anyone else waiting same time.
I would email them and state all that and also the fact that people who only paid recently have also received affidavits. That was what I did and their response was we already sent you your email but will paste again here for you. Now I now for a fact no email was sent to me originally as I was checking my emails every day since the announcement. My guess is they may have not sent it correctly or even to wrong email. There is no harm asking them again as they may realise their mistake. That’s what happened for me anyway and I got the affidavit quite swiftly after thatSuperyellowox wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:19 pmSimilar situation, got approval letter last February 2020 and paid fee.

When did you send the affidavit? And what is the date of the certificate?
yeah, it looks like it will be accepting docs starting from L4 and minimum processing time will be 8 weeks after it opens.
