Hi Ali

I understand your frustration but we have no option so we have to wait. I applied for my child a few months before you and you will find a lot of child application applied before you are still waiting...
Now I am hopefully as they are doing something to reduce the backlog

I am frustrated because the way they have bothered me unnecessarily !! also when i travel i had lots of issues as i am holding Irish Passport and my son (EU passport from another country can't name that).
Also i am have a good opportunity in another country and i am just waiting for naturalization of my son and move on from here !!!

Hi guys. I got both my minor kids naturalisation approval in first week of November 2020 I send them the required 200 euro each fees and other documents etc in order to receive naturalisation certificate. I haven't heard anything since. It normally takes 6 weeks but not sure May be taking to long due to covid?. I sent the fees draft etc through registered post. It says delivered in first week of Nov. Should I email them??. Thanks for the help

Hi Ali,
You and your wife are both Irish citizens and your kid is also Ireland born. Why do you need naturalization process for your kid? He is Irish born. Do I miss something ?

Hi Ali,
You and your wife are both Irish citizens and your kid is also Ireland born. Why do you need naturalization process for your kid? He is Irish born. Do I miss something ?

Because when my son was born he was not eligible for Irish Passport as there was ONLY few months left for my stamp 4 to be 3 years and my wife was eu and her residency was less then 3 years too !! later we both got naturalized ! that SHITE rule after 2004 people born in Ireland one of the parent need to be residing 3 years ..... which caused headache to many people ! they should make some amendment or exempt children (minor) whose both parents are naturalized citizen to apply naturalization again for their minor rather they should be applying passport straight away !!

When you got approval what else they asked you to provide ?

[Ali112]

Any Update regarding Minor Applications ?

I still didn't understand why the delay for minors application. Minors don't require garda checks etc. They really need to up their game and hire more staffs. Applications for minor should even be the fastest to get a decision.

That's Ridiculous !!! i mean my son was born here ! my ex is also naturalized Irish and myself ! they should have change the stone age law dealing with minors

I have applied for my child's citizenship application back in summer, but I can tell it could take a very long time until my son gets the certificate. Now me & my wife are both Irish citizens and I was wondering if I need to update the status for my son? Should I apply for EU Treaty Rights or it is not necessary? I suppose with that card, it'd be easier to travel out and back since he won't need a reentry visa.

well inform them that you are both got naturalization and i hope that may push the application a bit !! I mean these children applications are easy to deal with and honestly this bother many many families who are waiting for their kids !
My son has some sort of autism and here i can't get any assistance neither family support nor Health everything is now just COVID COVID COVID ! i got an opportunity which is hard to miss and my son would get better health treatment but ! as my own experience with the system here is to just punish everyone !! i am not sure if its me or many over here , that i feel that all those working in immigration just intentionally make soo much hurdle or difficulties for people who have lived here , worked here and been a contributor to the society !! they attitude is to refuse or make difficult as much as possible.
I don't see anyone who has been happy dealing with them from professionals to someone who brought good name to the state.

Was wondering if anyone has received their children certificate from those approved in Nov 2020?

[iceice304]

I submitted fee and photographs in Nov and still awaiting. For the minors the delay in issuing the certificate is unimaginable and reveals the state of affairs in this department and efficiency of govt as a whole.

True !!
I have been asked to provide same thing for like 3 time NO IDEA if they are loosing the documents ? or SIMPLY THEY JUST DONT CARE at all !!
In my last comm in November 2020 , I have sent them almost 4 kg of documents from every single slips from the day my son was borned till 2020 including his Autism report !!! this is what they do with some one !!

Its been 17 months i have applied and it is well in advance stage but NO reply !!

TO ALL those are waiting i would recomend send an emaik directly to Minister who is herself going to become a mother soon and ALSO your local TD which i am going to do it again !! get them pressure and if we all do it i am sure this will be at least heard in the department.

According to An Post track and trace your post was delivered to our office
on the XXXXXXXX

The Division, like everyone in the State, has been impacted by the
restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 healthcare crisis. The restrictions
imposed have resulted in all Citizenship staff working remotely with
minimal access to the Office. Obviously these restrictions are outside of
the control of the division and have resulted in significant delays in
dealing with correspondence received in the Office and have had a negative
impact on processing times for all applications as the Division adjusts to
working in the current environment. The processing of the applications is
further impacted by the ability of Citizenship to contact other bodies,
many of whom will be negatively impacted by COVID-19.

I can confirm that the Division has engaged in concentrated effort to
process and complete all cases that remain outstanding for a considerable
period of time. Your patience in this matter is appreciated.

I have emailed the department last week after almost 15 Months applying my son's citizenship and this is what i got from them

" Your application on behalf of your child continues to be processed. Please
note that due to the current restrictions our office has a limited number
of staff and we are not working as efficiently as we would like to be to
produce naturalisation certificates. Your patience at this time is required

Did anybody got any Update regarding their children's naturalisation application ?

any positive news ?

I knew a solicitor (or may be immigration consultant) , he was ex immigration officer and also worked in Naturalization office.

As per his update : The people in their office are useless or don't even bother to work much , files are kept on desk for ages, no update are put in systems at all !

As per him most of the people working in the office are known or relative to existing or ex TDs or ministers and have no qualification to do the job and its simple if you go to any countries most of their Key departments i.e. Immigration, Naturalisation , Security etc.. are located in the capital or financial capital of that country But he mentioned just think why naturalization is in a small town tipperarry ? even the building is own by a ex TD so its all down incompetent people in the offices and those who've recruited them .
I am also working remotely and many others and i don't see their company are crying that we busy etc....

According to the man who've once in the office in tipperarry that the max one person work there is max max is 1 hour a day !!

So good luck to all !

Was about to ask the same thing. Did my application on the 5th is of November and biometric on the 21 of November and ever since not heard anything.

Do we have expects who can predict when I will get mine. I have seen people who did theirs on the 2nd November get their registration certificate.
