Applying for citizenship via email

[Lanick]

Hello. Is this true? That you can apply for citizenship just by emailing your documents? Would be great if there’s anyone with any info. Thanks

it is not true. You initially submit by email and once they reply you have to present everything in person.

Ok so it’s true that you start the process by emailing, not that you have to go to the court until they ask you to come?

Yes. It doesn't take long for them to reply though, usually a few weeks.

The guy who told me this has applied himself. Been months and even though he can see his application in the system, hasn’t been asked to go anywhere after like 5 months.

This might be CABA specific/no longer the case, but I started the process in person myself at the office in the Supreme Court, after that, basically everything else was via email for me with the exception of delivering the oficios/ordens to the assorted offices and ministries.
