Re: Anal NZ house, GRRRRRR! RANT
As i have no Irish address i can't have a police check.
What i have to apply for is a disclosure of personal information pursuant to section 4 of the Data Protection Act 1988 and 2003.
It costs euro 6.35 and can take up to 40 days.
But i spoke to a nice man in ireland who said that i could go and pick it up from him in person on the 26th. Ryanair flights are booked...1p each way!
All this because i have what i am entiled to.
Nine years in the Royal Navy and Seventeen in the Prison Service is not enough proof that i have never lived in Ireland!!!

Crikey, I can't believe it!! I'm surprised they haven't asked for a DNA test as a further security check. Still, at least you get yourself a little holiday!! And before the new taxes come in! Good luck with it! I've since received my form back from the Health Visitor and sent it today, so good vibes for both of us!

Haha! You know its weird, I'm from bucks and my husband's family are all Irish, he could have an Irish passport as well, but I told him we needn't have yet more paperwork if it could be avoided! He's from, errrr, Dunegal?? Not sure on spelling, sorry!

I'm so annoyed. We sent my baby's citizenship request to the NZ embassy at the start of the month. Previously we had the proof of identity bit filled in by the Health Visitor. She had neglected to write our daughter's name in one bit, but had written it on another, so my husband wrote that bit. Otherwise it was all filled in by her, all her details, blah, blah. Anyway, the embassy called yesterday to say they noticed the name was filled in different handwriting, possibly my husband's. I didn't want to lie, so I said yes. She said that had invalidated the form. So she'd have to send another one. I said, 'can't you just call the woman and confirm the details.' I mean, my daughter isn't even three months old yet, I personally don't see the issue. She was all snotty about it, AND she'd lost one of the photos! Now there's a delay. I just want to GET OUT OF HERE. They've got ALL this paperwork from us, how can they be so anal about a baby's paperwork?? To add to my ever growing list of frustrations, the health visitor was off sick for weeks before Christmas, and then had loads of holiday. Being a health visitor, she only works for like two hours a fortnight or something ridiculous like that. Who else can sign the form though, THERE'S NO ONE, she's a baby. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I am really sorry to hear about your trouble with the form but can't your GP help you out and confirm the identity of your baby instead?

Thanks for your post. The citizenship form only needed one signature, but the passport application requires two, so I've got the GP to sign the other one. We did plan that if the initial form by the Health Visitor took too long we'd get someone else but fortunatly, its all sorted now! And I sent it today! So fingers crossed its right this time!

One less thing to worry about, hey?
