louise7981 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I have just started my citizenship application and wondered why they ask for details of my parents and their passport details? Not a problem to provide them but just curious why they want them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louise7981 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Any ideas what happens if you're unable to provide details on parents - eg I can't provide my mothers details as she is deceased, as is my father in law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise7981 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Should say passport details - I can provide all other details they are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell them they are deceased or you simply don't know. For one thing not everyone has a passport so details can't be supplied anyway. Just do the best you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just leave the passport thing blank. My dad was deceased, so I couldn't get that either. It wasn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Make sure they are not any ozzie security lists, stop lists, never been deported from oz etcI don’t understand.... If I am already a permanent resident (which one must be to apply for citizenship), can they prevent you becoming a citizen based on something your parents do/have done?

LouDYorkie Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Isn’t it an optional thing to provide? I thought I’d read you only need to provide it if they have visited Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zet01 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Just answer the best you can. Both my parents are deceased and provided them their names, country of citizenship and some basic information. I think I put Not applicable to some items including passport details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise7981 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thank you all - I am trying to submit it electronically so not sure if if will be difficult to omit these details. I will try again today and may need to give immigration a call if any issues. I will post again later to update. Hopefully we won't have any delays.

If I am already a permanent resident (which one must be to apply for citizenship), can they prevent you becoming a citizen based on something your parents do/have done? I doubt it, but they would probably link the files. They also use forms like this to double check stuff - for instance if your parents were to apply later for a parent visa they would check back to see the details matched what you had given in the past. It really doesn't matter if you don't have or don't give details though. I didn't know my mum's passport number so left it blank and for my dad I would've just put deceased. As I said earlie,not everyone has a passport anyway! Edited May 7, 2018 by Nemesis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I just put the date of the ending of their citizenship as the date of their death and in the reason put deceased. It wasn’t obvious where to put details of deceased relatives. It was OK I now have a passport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigemup Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi guys, I am reading about the documents required for citizenship application and found this thread:. Please let me know: 1. What type of details are required for the parents details sections ? 2. Do we need the details of in-laws also ? ! If so, what details are required and what to do if one does not know any of the details ? 3. Do you need details of the spouse also ? What are details required ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustUs Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi Sigemup, One can apply for citizenship online or fill up a paper form. The form can be found here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/1300t.pdf and might give you a better idea of what’s required. B/Regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, I've lodged the application for citizenship recently, at parents details section, I've given my mother's name as in her Indian Identity document rather than as in my passport. The last name in the passport is like "Abcdef" while in the identity document it is "Abcdefghijkl". In the lodged application, I've mentioned it as "Abcdefghijkl". Could this name discrepancy in my passport and the lodged application cause any issues while assessing the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
