Hi, 

Just got invited for my test in Melbourne.

I have a situation, maybe you can help out:

I've have all the original documents to take with me, except the hardcopy of the NAATI translation of my birth certificate.
I've lost this document somewhere and I can't find it. Only have the digitalized copies. 

What's the best course of action? Has someone been in the same situation?

Dear LAG,

Thanks for your valuable information.

should i apply the “Evidence of citizenship” once  baby is born with the birth certificate? thanks 

cheers !

@KazBaker, I am on the same situation here. Did you end up having to update the citizenship application about your newborn?

Hi, and Congrats on your newborn! What I did was to apply for Evidence of Citizenship, once that has been approved you may want to add the baby on your information, there is a section of the actual Citizemship Application where it asks if you have any other children who are not applying for conferral citizenship. You can add this on by using the Change of Circumstances form (which is used to notify the department of pregnancy, birth, change of personal details, etc) Just Google the name of this document and you can find/download it. 

 

The evidence of Citizenship took us 4 business days to get approved (they will ask for parent's PR). And 7 business days to get the actual Aus Citizenship certificate to get posted. After this, there is no further action required for your newborn. 

All the best!

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Just one more detail: do you know if there’s a time limit to do the form 1022(change of circumstances) in this case? Birth certificate, evidence of citizenship they all take time...

Yes baby is a citizen. You apply separately for evidence of this (which is quick) then you can apply for a passport for them.

Thanks,

What about having to tell them that circumstances have changed? Would the evidence of citizenship be enough for that?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to inform the department about having a newborn while waiting for the citizenship process? is it automatic? I can't find the option on the immi account site and this https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/change-in-situation/had-a-baby only says that the baby is citizen because we are permanent residents.

Has anyone been in this situation?

thank you,
