Hi folks

While applying for the passport do we need to send the original naturalisation certificate and birth cirtificate to the passport office?

I had recieved my cert two days ago and I am thinking of applying for the passport.

Cheers

Did you send the documents to Dublin or Tiperrary?

Thanks everyone.

I booked the appointment for oath in Dublin and got it for 28 May.

As I mentioned earlier I sent my documents in Nov 2008. I presume if we count from mid Nov- end March it took approx 4.5 months for the checks.

Folks I have recieved my approval letter today. Very relieved after a long wait. I called INIS about 3 weeks back and was told my application was ready to be submitted to the minister. So looks like it took less than three weeks to get the decision. My timeline: Application : July 2006 Acknowledgeme...

sorry to hear your story. I joined this forum today, but i have been a regular visitor of this site and thanks to all of you who have posted their incidents and this has given me good information. i know few guys had difficulty and unreasonable waiting period. but its unfair to say that Ireland is ...

I applied for naturalisation in the end of 2006 based on 5 years on work permit. Question for those of you guys who is not currently in a full-time employment. Have any of you got the letter from DoJ stating: "The minister requires that all applicants for naturalisation show that they are able...

It is so difficult to understand the logic. 2006 waiting 2007 approved. 277. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in processing the garda clearance request by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service for a person (details ...

An interesting debate in Dail about the Citizenship delays: 44. Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his plans to address the delay in processing a citizenship application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

congrats ib_dublin Finally some good news!! :) I am also same timeline as you except that I applied in July 2006. I have a similar question about the addresses. On your application on residence period did you have many from - to addresses or was it 1-2. I suspect the more places you stay at the long...

Did anyone who sent their additionals docs in Nov 2006 contacted DOJ recently (in last 2 weeks) to find the latest status? It has been approx over 2 months now and its possible that there is some update.

Hi Strongbow You will not need to send the passport again at the time of renewal. I renewed my son's passport few months back. All you need to send it the original passport of your son and his birth certificate for renewal. Once the first passport is issued that itself is proof of the Irish citizens...

This is from the Garda website: Police Certificates are issued only for the attention of Consular Authorities and for Foreign Adoptions Boards. They are not issued for employment or any other purpose. They can however be issued when being used for the purposes of establishing, or registering, a busi...

I think its all random. Who handles your application? How fast the officer is If it goes to Garda clearance which station or which Garda officer handles it? How efficient and fast is he? Etc etc etc Its a lottery. If you fall in efficient hands you will get it in 18 months elase you may not get in 3...

do u think if u r top earner, ur application go faster ?

Well in that case I should have recieved it 6 months back

One thing worth noticing - The July 06 applications are being processed message has not changed since one month now. Earlier it was changing every 2 weeks.

I applied in Aug-2006 received letter in Sep-2006 that my application is in queue asked for documents in Oct-2008 (p21, 3 months salary slip & bank statments) no news since then. Is there anyone who has same time line and got his application approved or has more info? hi ib_dublin, Same above. ...

Than you have confused me a lot more

Is current nationality a factor??

No need to get confused. The normal processing is still done for June 06. Its July 2006 now :D Anyway yes it makes more sense now.

I've stopped believing this based on all different messages on this forum.

Some in Dec 2006 have been naturalised others in Dec 2005 are still waiting and the website says July 2006 is being processed.

I think the bells should start ringing when the date on their website changes and you still don't hear from them. As the website says they are processing June 2006, I am still hopeful we should hear soon. As for people who applpied in Nov-dec 06 and have heard from INIS, is it possible that they als...

Just wanted to clarify on my previous post. I sent p21 for 2007 without them asking for it.
