I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned, who currently has permission to reside in the State until 24 January 2020, has submitted an application for a certificate of naturalisation. In this regard a letter has issued requesting the person concerned to submit the prescribed certification fee and other documents. When the fee and documentation are received, an invitation will be issued to attend a citizenship ceremony, at which the person concerned will make a declaration of fidelity to the Irish Nation and loyalty to the State and receive his certificate of naturalisation.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that there is no record of the person concerned on file. It is apparent, however, that the mother and father of the person concerned have permission to reside in the State on Stamp 1 and Stamp 4 conditions, respectively.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Residence Division of INIS does not currently have an application for the person concerned before them. Should they wish to regularise their position in the State, then the person concerned should make an application to the Residence Division of INIS setting out the details of their case. Information on application types, qualifying criteria, and required documentation is available on the INIS website.

All non-EEA nationals over the age of 16 who are dependent upon their parents in the State must register with their local Garda National Immigration Bureau Office.
