The naturalisation application from the person referred to by the Deputy presently has not been registered yet.

The Citizenship Division of my Department are currently registering applications from April 2024.

Once registered, a Personal ID and Citizenship application reference number will formally issue.

However, when the applicant submitted the online application for Naturalisation an auto-receipt will have been emailed.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department 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. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
