You will legalize your birth Cert and marriage cert when this is coming from a different country. Example: Birth Cert from France will have to translated in English and legalised or certified [/b]HamzaCork wrote:Hi All,
I have a quick question, the additional documents that we normally sent to INIS when they request for , so do those additional documents copies need to be certified by a solicitor, or do you just send them by making a copy of orginals.
Please advise
You shoud have received your citizenship long ago...If you are still working then write to them just give up an update about your employment situation againsouthdubliner wrote:no news friends....applied in March 2007...no word whatsoever...

you seem experienced to me regarding the citizenship issue, and I have a question which is confusing me, I hope you can help me through your experience.
I applied on July 2009 and become unemployed on Feb 2010 (after working and paying taxes and prsi for 6 years) right now i have 2 options.
first is to leave Ireland and go abroad for working (as Ia pplied for so many jobs but nothing gone ok) and the catch is I signed the declartion in the application about my intention to leave in Ireland for the rest of my life and I'm afraid if I leave the country they will discared my application.
second is to stay in Ireland but I'm getting unemployment benefits ( the PRSI i paied erlier) and the catch is I'm burdon on the state right now.
What's your opinion and the other readers in this forum as well?

I did all the above when INIS asked for Additional Docs 6 months ago. When i asked for status on Phone, they said they're waiting for Gardai vetting report. how long do you reckon this would take? i lived at 4 addresses all in South Dublin but the Gardai report is taking forever. Prospective teachers get theirs' in 3 weeks INIS insist that's the only report required. I've given up hopes of getting it this year..
I was thinking my application is delayed but i feel there are lot of people waiting even longer. I dont know how this INIS is working but seems they are not fair with people in Q. looks like its kind of a lucky draw...southdubliner wrote:no news friends....applied in March 2007...no word whatsoever...

I am sorry to be a party pooper but no Latan it doesn't . From application to decision would not mean oath/fees payment/passport it only means after making an application and getting ref no. it will take 26 months to reach a decision. And 26 months is just say on the citizenship poster...its actually way more than that in good few cases here.Latan wrote:...tanx ACEFORM- does that INCLUDE further processing-time, taking the oath, payment, the issue of the certificate...and finally the passport ? That means i've got 10 months to go !! Happy dayz indeed !!
i have read your reply and Im very disappointed in what you have taught of me,first I have tried to give all the details and im going to give them again.nanette wrote:i have posted about this before ----> The attitude man...You are not polite.

It is always good to give an introduction about yourself for every post to put out there....no one will go thru yoour history of posting.
Did you reply or just update your existing file?
This what I would do if I was you:
INIS does not respond to emails...Use the phone to contact them OR better send them a register post letter.
NOTE:
If you are a student on your own, it is going to be very difficult for them to accept you. But you should not stop from trying.
The reason to this is that, you will need 5 years residency in Ireland (stamps on your passport should show that) and student time DOES NO COUNT.
Good luck.

If you are 18 then you are not a minor applicant and are classed as normal applicant (normal applicant wait is 26 months). If as you said that you have sent your docs into them and the final piece of jigsaw was your birth cert then you should receive a reply from the department soon regarding an application number (unless you are missing something again for which they will return your app). Patience is a virtue (i dont have much of it meself).aya101 wrote:i applied on the 14th of october ,i needed to do a birth affiidivit.I havent worked before.I lived in ireland for 10 years and im 18 years old living with my parents and siblings.I tried post and Im still waiting for a reply as Im studying on tuesday and thursdays from 9 to 4.
This is true and fair advise. I can also confirm that INIS dont reply emails. I did send them few earlier but never had a reply. Best way to contact them is over phone (if you are lucky to get through) or write them but again you will not going to get a proper answer/reply but formal wordings.fatty patty wrote:If you are 18 then you are not a minor applicant and are classed as normal applicant (normal applicant wait is 26 months).

If you are unsure and want an update on your app...don't email to the department, they simply don't reply to emails. IT/technology that is so last decade as far as INIS concerned . Good old letter is the only form of effective communication with INIS and infact with any Public services department and as nanette said "register it".
