Comment on this
The naturalisation application cited was returned to the person concerned on 10 September 2025 as it was incomplete.
I am informed that further documentation was requested from the person concerned and this documentation was not provided.
It is open to the person cited to make a new application at any time.
To maintain the integrity of the file on record, Citizenship Division do not return documentation submitted. However, should applicants wish to lodge a new application, they may request all relevant documents previously submitted to be associated with the new application.
My Department has recently launched a new webpage to help people better understand the naturalisation application process, including the key documents required for identity and residency. The page also provides guidance on how to have documents certified. Your constituent can view it at: www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-an-irish-citizen-guide/.
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.
