I'm due to submit my application next month Wondering the same. Hopefully they do, as now most places are able to have gatherings of 20 people. Fingers crossed.

Jennyc Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi everyone, Not too sure if there are any New Zealander applying the Australian citizenship？ The requirement for residence time on the website asking for a centerlink statement to say when you start to live in Au. But when I went to centrelink asking for this statement and they said this is no more necessary and didn't issue me one. But online application still have one section of document required. Is there anyone similar situation and can help me with some clue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passports are not always stamped now - especially if you use Smartgate. I haven't hd my passport stamped for years However I believe it is possible o apply yo the Immi Dept for a "record of movements" which will list all comings and goings.

When I click on messages it shows the following The applicant has not agreed to receive electronic correspondence for this application. Note: Electronic correspondence for this application is sent only if the applicant agreed to communicate via email in the application. I read that need to attach form 1193, but not sure which section shall i upload this form. Thanks for your input Hi, Unsure if you got a response - attach the form under Form 1195 Identity declaration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedream20 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi All, I am in the process of filling in my citizenship application but am finding the Identity section a little confusing. After entering details of the Identity document in the form, when I go to the attachments section, the document type is mentioned by default and I am unable to attach a different document to this section from that mentioned as default (for eg: I mentioned Driving licence as a identity document in the form, this appears as a default document type at attachments and thus I cannot attach another document to further support my identity). Is it the same for everyone else? Pls advise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kazbaker, Since New Zealand passport can come to Australia without visa, they will be issue 444 visa as soon as arriving. There is no stamp on the passport when I came in. I even pull out of the movement recorder. But not too sure if I need this certificate from centrelink still. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you proposing people never meet with other people again? of course, I didn't propose anything! But if there is a more safe option like the Online ceremony why we risk our lives in a big congregation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we are originally from the UK we travelled in Europe a lot - do we need to detail all of these holidays?!? Also where you detail travel to other countries, do you have to enter that between each holiday you were living in the UK? Losing the will to live trying to remember/search for details of all our holidays Ross The paper version of the form only requests your travel details in the last 10 years. That’s what most of us hv done. But yes, every overseas trip in the last 10 years. Used old passports, emails of e-tickets, frequent flyer activity details etc. It is said that you need to be as accurate as you can but some errors are acceptable(not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application portal will guide you and tell you what documents you need to submit. You don’t have to guess anything or asking others advice on it. The immigration department will ask the relevant documents according to your circumstances. In general it is pretty simple and based on id check and security check. good luck ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Can anyone tell me where i can find out these emails address on home affairs site virtual.citz.ceremony@homeaffairs.com.au virtual.ceremony.qld@homeaffairs.com.au when i called today to home affairs, the officer totally ignored that these emails address are for public and publicly found in home affairs site. Even he forced me that without any home department source u(me) can not get this emails so he little pressurised me by asking where i get those emails. I said from home affairs site and fb page comments section of home affairs. He totally been ignored that there is no information about emails like that any where even he refused to me to asked questions related to sent in those emails.
