No-one will know yet, but if I had to bet I’d say yes. Either yes faster for all online over paper, or at least yes for the random selection they put through an express trial. We’re recommending everyone who has an online form version uses it.
If it's up - go for online.
It means if I have no school letter, I need 1 of 3? Letter from Creche, Letter from the Department of Social Protection or a letter from your doctor?Original (not photocopies of) school letters from each school attended by your child for three years. The school letters must show enrolment dates, periods of attendance and the number of days attended in each school year.
If your child has attended school for less than three years the following documents are acceptable
A letter from the Creche/Playschool or Montessori can also be provided showing enrolment dates and periods of attendance
A letter from the Department of Social Protection stating that you are receipt of child benefit for your child, and the date on which payment commenced
A letter from your doctor stating that your child is registered with the practice, the date your child was first registered and the dates your child attended the surgery, including your child’s Patient Immunisation Record where applicable
You’ll need letters that cover that three years. If your child registered with doctor early in year 1 and has attendance each year over three years, that will be sufficient. If your doctor letter only covers years 2 and 3 you’ll need eg crèche letter showing year 1 attendance at crèche and submit that with doctor’s letter.RCCar wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 9:11 amChildren application form 9 says

Or I need all 3?
Vardar - you applied online after few hours they announced it, how it possible so quick? Did you prepare paper documents or you already new they will go online? Also what form you submitted - form 8?It also seems, so far, to be that online applications get faster online confirmation/acknowledgement even if actual processing isn’t faster in total. We’ve had acknowledgements back in hours, not days/months/weeks for submissions made today.
I didn’t apply. I volunteer in a centre that supports immigrants and we help people apply. We support a lot of applications, so we’re pretty efficient and we keep an extremely close eye on the process, process changes and data generated by applications we support. We intentionally submitted applications on Tuesday to explore and monitor the new process. I wouldn’t share which forms we’ve helped people with until enough members of the public have submitted to ensure nothing is identifiable.RCCar wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 5:12 pmVardar - you applied online after few hours they announced it, how it possible so quick?

As long as you have documents clearly evidencing 3 years you are good to go and personally, I’d submit. Additional docs for children covering years already evidenced aren’t going to speed up your application. However, super useful to have in your back pocket- because we don’t know how the dept will use their tab for requesting additional documents. As an un-evidenced guess, I’d say they don’t know yet either, and will see what arrives via digital format. If they are generally getting poor quality digital images (if applicants struggle with the image-PDF-merge-compress-attach routine) they may ask for alternate docs.RCCar wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 5:38 pmVardar, that's super interesting! I can apply my kids for Form 9 today but also want to get Creche letter (I can get it Friday), do you think it will be better apply today without Creche letter or Friday with it? (I have letters from Dep Protection and GP covering all 3 years, so)
