What if Ceremony date clashes with Leaving Cert?

[youngadult18]

Hi eveyone,

Is there a way to defer the ceremony to the next one if it clashes with my Leaving Cert please?
I'd like to know how to do that exactly.

Thank you!

You can only accept or decline ceremony invitation. You can’t add a reason for declining or influence when you’ll receive a later invitation. Typically applicants find they aren’t invited to the next ceremony but face another wait throughout a few citizenship ceremony cycles. It’s a pain, but there isn’t much you can do it if clashes with something important like exams.

It's great to "hear" that it can be declined without aborting the whole citizenship application process for good. It's OK to skip a few cycles if it does work out in the end

I don't think I saw a web page detailing this scenario. Do you know if there's one?

Thank you!

There isn’t even an official website accurately explaining what happens when the system works. I think hoping for information when it doesn’t is very optimistic you’re stuck with informal information sharing sites like this I’m afraid.
