Attending a citizenship ceremony is the final step to complete the naturalisation process. A day of citizenship ceremonies is held periodically throughout the year. Several ceremonies are often conducted at each event.

You will receive an invitation to your ceremony by post/e-mail before it is scheduled to occur. Please do not contact us regarding ceremony invitations as we are not in a position to confirm invitations.

You may bring one adult guest with you on the day. Only one adult guest will be permitted to enter the venue with you. With regret, we ask you do not bring children to this event.

Successful applicants who are minors (children) do not have to attend a citizenship ceremony. They will receive their Certificate of Naturalisation by post.

What happens at the ceremony?

Please see below about what happens at the citizenship ceremony and what you are required to do. Please note carefully the instructions and information.

At the ceremony you will take an oath of fidelity to the nation. You do not become an Irish citizen until you have made your declaration. Your certificate of naturalisation will be issued by registered post in the weeks following the ceremony.

When you arrive at the ceremony venue, go to the registration desk to check-in. Bring your passport as photo identity. Driver’s licence is the other form of photo identity that may be accepted.

After you register we will give you

A ceremony booklet which contains:
- Information about how to apply for your Irish passport
- Information on your right to register to vote
- Information about the circumstances under which your Irish citizenship can be revoked
- The words of the national anthem.
An Irish emblem

The citizenship ceremony itself will be presided over by a judge and is usually attended by a government minister. Press reporters or photographers may also be present. The ceremony may last a couple of hours.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Declaration of fidelity to the Irish nation and loyalty to the State” open=”no” class=”” id=””]

The declaration states that you will respect the rights, freedoms and laws of Ireland. You will be given the words of the declaration on the day and you won’t have to memorise them.

You do not become an Irish citizen until you make your declaration.

Declaration of fidelity to the Irish nation and loyalty to the State

“I (name) having applied to the Minister for Justice for a certificate of naturalisation, hereby solemnly declare my fidelity to the Irish nation and my loyalty to the State.

I undertake to faithfully observe the laws of the State and to respect its democratic values.”

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Certificate of Naturalisation” open=”no” class=”” id=””]

Your Certificate of Naturalisation is a valuable document and it cannot be replaced. You should keep it in a safe place.

Never laminate your certificate or make other changes to it. Unauthorised changes will make it invalid and it may not be accepted when you apply for a passport.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Passport” open=”no” class=”” id=””]

After you become an Irish citizen, you can apply for your passport via the Department of Foreign Affairs.

After the ceremony if you wish to travel but you have not yet obtained your Irish Passport, you should still check with the Immigration Officer at the airport from which you are travelling to make sure that you will be able to leave and enter Ireland as a naturalised Irish Citizen.
