Hi, My disclosure view on 5th of March 2024 but not yet receive the approval letter, it look like they have sent the first batch of approval on 26th April 2024 because whoever received the approval letter in recent days mentioned that the date on letter is 26th April 2024
Hi all
It is the approval letter. It means your application will be approved once you have followed the instructions outlined in the letter.Coconutcreek wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 3:39 pmHi all
I have received a letter from justice department,the language is bit confusing
It says
This letter doesn't constitute grant of Naturalisation certificate
And then it says
The minister proposes to grant your application subject to successful completion of application process.
It then proceeds to show my name and date of birth and place and country of birth and says for the context of passport application only this name acceptable.
At last it says if certificate of Naturalisation to be granted I ll receive a letter for attending next ceremony and on next page asked me to send the copy of my IRP and my travel document.
So is it approval letter or still some process is going to happen .I am bit confused with all the wording.please ignore my misunderstanding.i will be greatfull if someone can reply .
Regards

-The approval letter is just advising you that your application has been approved
- Letter does not confer citizenship (not proof of citizenship).
- You will only be Irish (or British in the UK) once you have attended the ceremony.
- Your certificate is the document that proves your citizenship (and will be posted to you).

Travel documents are for refugees - they mean travel documents issued by Ireland, not your passport.Daranum wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 12:24 amI'm just wonderinglittlerr wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 3:51 pmIt is the approval letter.

Re IRP - I'm not sure, I got my approval letter before that. If they ask for it, send it. But as you mention a copy, I assume you'll just need to upload it on the portal.

Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your continued patience while we work through the current backlog of Citizenship applications.
Citizenship Division understands how delays in processing can have an impact on the lives of our applicants and we want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to remove the current backlog of files which remain a legacy of the pandemic, the paper based nature of the applications and sheer volumes.
Last year saw some progress with more than 20,000 applications approved. This was a 10 year high and came off the back of the Department holding more large scale Citizenship Ceremonies than ever before (15 across both Dublin and Kerry). We are committed to ensuring our upward trajectory of naturalisation decisions and access to ceremonies continues throughout 2024.
Over a two year period we have increased processing volumes by 66 per cent. We recognise there is still a need for more progress but we want to assure you we are doing everything possible to increase the volume of decisions we make and reduce the amount of time it takes to become naturalised.
2024 Ceremony schedule
We recognise the importance of giving applicants more opportunities to attend Citizenship Ceremonies to complete their naturalisation. In June this year, for the first time ever, we will be holding ceremonies in both Dublin and Kerry.
This will give us the opportunity to naturalise around 10,000 people across 12 ceremonies. Unfortunately we are not in a position to be able to give applicants a choice of venue.
The dates for these ceremonies are below. Invites will begin to issue in the coming weeks.
Killarney Dates: 10th and 11th June 2024
Dublin Dates: 20th and 21st June 2024
It is our intention to hold additional ceremonies in September and December of this year also. Once venues and dates are confirmed we will include them on the website.
eVetting
Since January 2024 Citizenship division has completed eVetting for over 12,600 people. Of the files we have on hand from 2023 and older, all have been offered eVetting links. Unfortunately there are a tranche of applications who have not responded when links have been sent.
If you have received a link and not filled it in, please do so as soon as possible as we will be unable to process your application until this step is complete.
If your application is from 2023 or older and you have not received an eVetting link, please contact customer service via citizenshipinfo@justice.ie with 2023 eVetting request in your subject line.
If you have already completed your vetting, please do not submit it again as this will cause delays.
Update to processing changes
Late last year Citizenship Division moved from paper based applications to online forms for all new applications. This move, coupled with the previous move to eVetting and online payments means new applications can now be done 100% paperless and online.
The end result of the digitisation process will be the freeing up of more staff to focus on processing applications in a timely and efficient manner, improving service to our customers and reducing waiting times.
We estimate we currently have around 4,000 paper files from 2022 and older. To ensure these files are progressed as soon as possible we have assigned a specific team to work through them. It is our hope the vast majority will be complete by the end of the summer.
Customer Service
We are committed to improving our customer service and we again recognise it can be frustrating for applicants when they experience delays with processing. Citizenship is doing everything possible to speed up the process. Where possible we do respond to customer queries.
The nature of the naturalisation process is that, for a broad range of reasons, some cases take longer than others to process. In some instances, completing the necessary checks can take considerable time. As a result of this we are not in a position to be able to provide updates on individual applications.
Areas where you should contact customer service is when you change your address. It is also important that you keep your email address up to date as this is how the majority of communications is now issuing from Citizenship.
While we value feedback from our customers the volume of requests we receive means we ask that you only contact us if it is absolutely necessary. This will allow us to dedicate as many resources as possible to reducing our current backlog.
