AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE

liling · January 26

Sorry, another question. Worried lang ako kasi yung drivers license ko iba siya sa lahat ng documents ko.

For example, official document is:

Given name: Maria Clara
Middle name: Castro
Last name: Ibbarra

Tapos yung drivers license ko:

Given name: Maria
Middle name: Clara
Last name: Ibbarra

Would this be picked up kaya and delay my citizenship?

this will definitely be checked with you during the citizenship process, nothing to worry about to be honest... if ever you may need to update your driver's license to reflect the correct name from your official document, para lang same across all your ID's, need din kasi maverify anong name ilalagay nila dun sa certificate mo

all the best!

God bless!

Thank you so much. Hopefully maging ok lang siya. Gusto ko din i-update name na ng drivers license ko but may interfere with the details I've already given...

But finally after long, long years

Hi guys, asking lang ako about change of name. I got married last year and hindi pa ako nagpalit ng last name kasi iniisip ko mas madali if after nalang ng citizenship app. sa PR i used my mothers maiden name as my middle name. If i do change my last name, what happens to my current surname po?

Worried lang ako kasi plan ko magdual citizen since my property po ako sa pinas.

Pwede po ba internet bill dun sa evidence of address?

hi po, pwede naman siguro si internet bill as proof/evidence of address... mas maganda lang siguro meron ka backup documents, like gas/electricity/water bills or home contracts to further prove/satisfy this part of the application...

congrats po on the upcoming citizenship! malapit na din ang finals for you!

all the best!

take it with a grain of salt, nakita ko lang when i googled: "can i travel during citizenship application"

you need to be "inside Australia" when they (Department of Home Affairs) give you the details for your citizenship:

screenshot done on 18th of June 2024, which may change

for me, our experience will be to wait out the completion of the citizenship, so we can grab our AU passport, and use it for booking flights anywhere we would like to go moving forward

all the best, ikaw na sunod @MLBS

God Bless!

nope, it won't affect your citizenship application

you can check further here po URL: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen/permanent-resident#Eligibility

just need to be in AU for 4 years with a valid visa, with 1 year of it being a PR

all the best!
