Anyone else from west AKL waiting for their citizenship ceremony date?

[LoveMondays]

Hi guys,

I have few queries regarding citizenship ceremony:

For someone living in Titirangi where will be their ceremony hosted? Will it be at Waitakere City Council Chambers?

If Yes, how many ceremonies take place at Waitakere City Council Chambers each year?

When is the first ceremony (which month) at Waitakere City Council Chambers each year?

I could find "only" six ceremony dates held at Waitakere City Council Chambers last year (2017):

Sunday 19/March
Sunday 18/June
Thursday 24/August
Sunday 3/September
Sunday 15/October
Monday 20/November

My understanding was that ceremonies "are held every four to six weeks across the region" http://governance.aucklandcouncil.go...ip-ceremonies/ here region as in Auckland or a local council for example Waitakere City Council Chambers?

There's a phone number you can call.

For enquiries regarding citizenship ceremonies, contact Auckland Council on (09) 301 0101.

Have you received your letter which states - about the conditional approval of your citizenship - subject to you attending the ceremony. If yes then you can call DIA and ask them when your ceremony is.

They will let you know the date and time of the ceremony you are invited to. You will get the invitation letter about 4 weeks prior to the actual ceremony date.

Don't call the council, you will just end up running around in circles.

There are almost no ceremonies in Auckland in January. I am on the North Shore and have mine in last week of February. Everything went silent after November and I was literally pooping in my pants of having missed a correspondence on this. But DIA sorted it all out for me as they can tell you what exactly is happening with your application. Keep your citizenship application number handy.


Edit : Waitakere council does not exist after the amalgamation of all the councils into one Auckland Council. The ceremonies are also dependent upon the number of people in your area. Waitakere being sparsely populated (as compared to other dense areas of Auckland) may have it at a reduced frequency.
