Here's hoping you hear back soon.
It must be so frustrating!

How long is your passport in date for? If your passport expires next year that is probably the reason.

I got my last IRP card in 2017 and am pretty sure it is valid until 2027 as I had just renewed my passport.

Hi all, do we need to bring our birth cert to the registration ceremony? On my email it says to bring the invite, declaration, passport and ID card. I thought I read somewhere the birth cert was also needed. If anyone can clarify, that would be great. No need. Also, ID card or IRP card? Thanks mese...

Sorry, you need to talk* to someone

Congrats to those that got an invitation! I do however have a query which I'm hoping may be clarified. Paid the requested fee last July and done all vetting etc. But the only correspondence since then was an acknowledgement of paying the fee. I'm just wondering what the approval email is that is sp...

Hi all, I got invited to naturalisation ceremony for 10th of June, but my GNIB expired on 24th of April I am waiting for appointment from immigration but they said might take 16-18 weeks can I still attend the ceremony? Also, I already sent to INIS my original travel document and a copy of my GNIB ...

Hi Kay Enjoy your stay in Killarney. We’re coming from France and I’ve basically just taken out a mortgage for a night at the Great Southern! Ha! I hear you. I booked a lovely manor house 20mins walk from the city centre. It's right by the national park and was $$$ but I figured I've waited long en...

I received my invitation email today for Killarney on June 10 at 3pm. I'll be travelling from Kilkenny to it and am treating myself to a two-night stay in Killarney to savour the experience. I've been living in Ireland for over two decades (on a stamp 5 for many years). I actually got emotional earl...

Many thanks everyone for your feedback.

Sorry, I meant should I send my last bank statement received for this year or all of my statements to date for 2023?

Thank you.

Thanks so much for the quick replies. I have my last phone bill (July) and electricity bill (June/July) Should I just send in my last bank statement for this year or should I send all of them for this year? I won't receive my mortgage statement for this year until next year, same with employment rec...

Hi all, I have just received confirmation of my application for citizenship and a receipt for my application fee. As per the title, I am being asked for three proofs of residence for 2023. Does anyone have a list of what I could choose from that would be acceptable? I have 28 days in which to send t...

Thanks everyone. I've no problem being patient, my concern was it being lost after all the work that went into it.

You've all really put my mind at ease.

Hi all, I sent off all my documentation for my citizenship on 23/6/23. I sent my application registered post and tracking shows it was received on 24/6/23. To date I have heard nothing. Is acknowledgement received via a letter or email? My surname is often spelt wrong so if it is sent as an email I'...

Thanks meself

Main thing is they have received it so I'll remain positive I'll hear back bin due course.

Hi all,

Sent all my documentation for my citizenship application on 23/6/23. I tracked the envelope and it is showing as delivered. Should I have received formal notice that my documentation was received by this point?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, yes, I'll just send the taxclearance. No harm doing that.

That's great, yes mine is the old green card. I'll put in the no7 option as my registration number. That's really put my mind at ease. Thanks for the link re the passport copy. I read the link and it's still a bit ambiguous as it says only a colour certified copy of the biometric is needed. It isn't...

Hi meself, Yes, still going ahead despite a few hiccups. The last card I have is dated from 2017 and expires in 2027. It has (in order) my name, nationality, date of birth, stamp 5, then a 5-digit number starting 64, then a number starting 69/...../01, then the county I am in. On the bottom right th...

Apologies, meant to also ask what is person ID? From Google search I don't necessarily have one.

Thank you

Hi all,

Quick question re Registration number on GNIB card that needs to be submitted with application.

My GNIB card is not the new version that apparently has the registration number on the back. Is the registration number the number that starts with 69/xxxxxxxx?

Thanks in advance,

Kay

Yes, it's definitely easier this way without the score card.

I wanted to thank you as well for a comment on my last post where you mentioned putting the passport number I entered Ireland with under the date I arrived and not my current passport number! I'd have got that wrong without your guidance.

Many thanks meself. I have just found this guide https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Citizenship-Guidance-Document.pdf It is different to the one I was using as it was only showing 70 points for Employment Detail Summary. Perhaps that was an older version of the form I was get...

Hi all, I received fantastic advice on here in the past and just want to clarify one final thing before I send off my application. In terms of proof of residency, the form states I need to provide four years of residency ( three years if refugee status), to make up a quota of 150 points. Is this cor...
