The naturalisation applications from the people referred to by the Deputy have been received by the Citizenship division of my Department, but have not yet been registered.
Citizenship Division are currently registering applications from August 2024. Once registered, a Personal ID and Citizenship application reference number will formally issue.
When the applicant submitted the online application for Naturalisation an auto-receipt will have been emailed.
Applications are strictly being registered and will be processed in chronological order.
Once the application for the person referred to by the Deputy has been registered, they can directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s new Digital Contact Centre (DCC). They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: https://portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/
As an Oireachtas member, you can also request the status of individual immigration cases by e-mail, using the Oireachtas Mail facility at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie, which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Question process.
