You jsut wait. Months, years...however long it will take.
I think it's a few years now re timelines.

Hi again, just wondering if anyone that has applied for citizenship on behalf of a minor in recent times could share a timeline (no feedback after a couple of months, not even the Garda vetting request), I thought this one would be quicker…
Also, my child will turn 18 later this year and I’m hoping if the naturalisation happens afterwards, I still need to pay just for the “minor” fee.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello, I have had made a similar application and am waiting for an update. My child turns 18 in Oct and I have applied for a minor application about Jan 2024. I have received "Submitted" to the Ministry of Justice as the last activity. Any idea what are my next steps?

Hello all, please I need your advise, I submitted application for naturalization on behalf of a minor (My son 17 years of age) using the new online system, I received by email the PDF FORM NVB3 - Vetting Invitation, I will need to fill this form and post it back to the Department of Justice, I have 2 questions

Q1, to which address to post the form? I know that there is a standard address which is
Citizenship Applications
Immigration Service Delivery
Department of Justice
PO Box 73
Tipperary Town
Ireland
BUT which department I should mention beside the word "Citizenship Applications" so it can be routed to the correct team, otherwise it can be lost

Q2, The form didn't ask to include any other documentation to post in addition to the form, but did that happen for anyone before and he discovered that he should have sent additional documents

Don't know if you need to have a consent form with it or did you submit it via online form; include it if needed
Also adult applications used to require a passport copy for eVetting back when it was paper based, so you might want to throw this in

Hello, just to let you know my timeline, I submitted online application on behalf of 2 minors (15 and 17 years of age) on 25-March-2024, I received the acknowledgment letter by email for both of them on 27-August-2024

Thank you, Asha.
I have just applied for change of address you may have noticed a new XXX-CITZ-YY format on the acknowledgement, that will be important for further communication.
I shall update if I hear of any updates from my end.

Hello Southernbird, Can you please let me know if you received the "Minor Vetting Form - Parental Consent" by email? if so, did you post it back to the citizenship division? what happened after that? it would be great if you can share timeline if possible. I am asking because we have similar situation that my son is turning 18 on Feb2025

Hi Asha, still haven’t received anything, unfortunately.
Is there anyway I can confirm with them if there’s any issue with the form or maybe the letter was lost?

Should I have received the Garda vetting email anyway even if I missed the confirmation letter?
Thanks

Hi Asha, I finally received confirmation that they were processing the application and another email with the invitation to submit the Garda Vetting form.
Within the Garda vetting submission online form (as you are filling it) there is a link to download NVB3 for parental consent and fill it in. Then you are supposed to upload a copy of the completed NVB3 along with copy of the minor’s passport in order to complete and submit the form.
Of course, the download link wasn’t working (error 404). I reported it so maybe they’ve fixed it now.
To complete the application I downloaded the NVB3 from another source (it’s an administrative standard paper form with the Garda header).It was a bit of a workaround and I hope it’s ok with the application. Will keep you posted.
