I want to enquire about the status of my application

Citizenship applications lodged are under assessment. You will be advised if further information is required from you. You will also be advised when a decision is made on your application.

If you lodged your application online you can check the progress of your visa application through ImmiAccount - https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login

Current global visa and citizenship processing times are now available on our

Some applications will take longer to process than the average service standard. It is not possible to provide a specific timeframe for individual applications.


I need to provide further documents

If you are required to provide additional documents please carefully follow the instructions in the written request regarding how the documents must be sent to the department. You will not receive written confirmation of the receipt of the requested documents. You will be advised if any further information is outstanding.

If you have applied online please upload requested documents only on Immi-Account.

Alternatively, you may scan and send them in colour via email to the email address contained in your acknowledgement letter or request letter. If an original document is required (such as an overseas Police Clearance Certificate) you will receive a specific request on how to provide it.

Any document in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation form the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). More information is available on the NAATI website at www.naati.com.au

CEREMONY SECTION

When is my ceremony?

When you have been scheduled to attend a ceremony you will receive an invitation by mail approximately 2 – 4 weeks before the date of your ceremony.

It has been more than three months since my application was approved – why haven’t I been invited to attend a ceremony?

Generally, ceremonies are scheduled within six months of approval but waiting periods vary. The Department appreciates your patience and asks that you wait to receive an invitation to your ceremony.

Can I attend a ceremony in another council area?

Applicants for Australian citizenship must attend a citizenship ceremony in their local council area or a departmental ceremony.

What do I do if I am unable to attend my ceremony?

You should notify the Department if you are unable to attend your ceremony. In most cases, you will be invited to a subsequent ceremony. You will receive an invitation by mail approximately 2 – 4 weeks before the date of your ceremony. Please be aware that if you do not attend a ceremony and make a Pledge of Commitment within 12 months of the date your citizenship application was approved, the approval of your application may be cancelled.

The department does not offer an ‘urgent ceremony’ service.

People are encouraged to attend public ceremonies. However, in genuinely urgent, compelling and unforeseen circumstances, the Department may agree to conduct a Departmental citizenship ceremony.

The following types of circumstances are not considered genuinely urgent or compelling:

·      Overseas travel for employment, holidays, family reunions or weddings
·      Pre-purchased airline tickets, cruise tickets or overseas accommodation
·      General entry-level employment requiring Australian citizenship
·      Expired passport (if you are travelling overseas before your ceremony you are encouraged to apply for another passport from your current country of citizenship)
·      Expired authority to return to Australia (if you are travelling overseas before your ceremony you are encouraged to apply for a Resident Return visa)
·      Students intending to apply for HECS – Higher Education Loan Program.

I want to change my details on my Citizenship Certificate

If you have recently changed your name and want to have this reflected on your Citizenship certificate, then you will need to apply for a new certificate. This can be done online through your Immi-Account. Alternatively, if you do not have an online account and do not want to create one, then you will need to download Form 119 from:
