rammygirl Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Your child is automatically a citizen if they were born in Australia and you were PR. You have to apply for evidence of citizenship for the passport application. It is automatic as they are a citizen from birth, it takes a couple of weeks normally.

JonOgre Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just a quick question in response to a post that I read here some time back (I haven't been able to relocate that post since). In cases where children under 16 are included in one parent's citizenship application, but the other parent is not applying (a choice because that parent's country of origin does not allow for dual citizenship), is the non-applying parent required to provide a letter of consent? And if so, does anyone have a handy template? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, with your advice I applied for the evidence of citizenship yesterday 3pm for my son and I received the approval Letter this morning 9:37am. Status : Finalised. How quick they were on it. Wao. They already sent the citizenship certificate by aupost. Thanks for your good advice. Thank you Rammygirl.

You can write the details of the kids and say “i give consent to my partner to include my kids to my partner’s citizenship application” - Simple just include your partner’s details as well on statutory declarations at Justice of peace.

Nora Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 On 25/03/2020 at 15:13, KazBaker said: Hi guys, Can anyone tell me what i need: my second child born before we become citizen of Australia. So second child doesn’t have any citizenship certificate because we couldn’t include him at the time of our citizenship application due to newly born baby. Now after becoming citizen we are applying for passport of this second child with us. Is second child automatically citizen or i have to apply for the evidence of citizenship? Fact to consider: Citizenship application 26/09/2019 baby born 28/12/2019 Citizenship 04/03/2020. Apply for evidence of citizenship. It takes 1-4 business days to be approved. Easy! They will send you the Au certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianinoz Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I understand they're not holding interview tests until about 20th August 2020 But are they issuing invites for tests? Or is it all put on all hold?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess6 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Everyone, I just discovered this : http://chng.it/GD5tCbDShK This is a petition to ask for the approved citizenships to be formalised like they have been in New Zealand. I am aware that there are tons of things more important in the world but still, it feels like Australia could do it if NZ can...

Hi, i guess you need to submit the revised birth Registration & birth certificate. And you need to update all the official legal details as well as identity documents though i am not sure about it 100%. As it creates complex situation to any decision maker. or other side leave it for now, let the citizenship application get processed and update it afterwards.

Aquarian_86 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Any updates on citizenship ceremonies with regards to the COVID19 changes ?

You have the possibility of signing this: http://chng.it/GD5tCbDShK Also, you can write to your local PM and the Department to raise it. NZ has already found a solution, so AU should be able to do so as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
