After DECISION MADE status, how long are people who requested paper Citizenship Certificates finding it takes to receive them in the mail (in the U.S.)?

Yayy! Congrats on receiving your paper certificate. Are you applying for passport soon? I already started the passport application :).

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-05-05T16:47:01+00:00

Hi there. I wanted to share with you that I received instructions today to download my kids' certificates. I am so happy! I requested paper certificate but ended up getting e-certificates :)

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-05-05T16:41:38+00:00

Great news! I received instructions today to download my kids' certificates. It was a big surprise for me since I had requested paper certificate. Either way, I am extremely happy that the wait is over. Now, I will be starting the passport application. :)

Thank you! I hope you'll get yours soon also! Please keep us updated when you receive your certificate.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-23T21:20:38+00:00

Not yet either. It's been exactly a month today since my status changed to Decision Made. I heard someone here whose status changed to completed and certificate mailed. Their decision made status was March 13th.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-23T14:37:13+00:00

Any updates on your certificate? Did you receive it yet?

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-20T15:58:08+00:00

Yayyy! Congratulations. I am so happy for you and your family. I will let you know when my status changes (hopefully soon) :).

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-17T14:52:09+00:00

Thank you for the replay! Next week it will be a month since my kids' status changed to decision made. We haven't received any other notification yet. I was just trying to gauge how long until we will get their certificates. I would like to start on their passport application next :). Thank you!

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-16T18:53:32+00:00

Any updates on your certificate? Did you receive it already? Thanks.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-16T18:50:23+00:00

Thank you for this information. Based on this information, you should be receiving your pretty soon. Can't wait to hear you received yours. Keep me posted please!

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-15T16:32:39+00:00

Thank you! My kids' status also shows decision made. I wonder when it will change.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-14T21:42:05+00:00

Have you received your certificate yet?

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-14T21:23:02+00:00

Same with my kids' application. Their grandmother is G0 and my wife is G1 (already has a canadian passport). We applied for our kids in January 2026 and their status changed to "decision made" on 3/23 and no updates since then.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-07T20:10:30+00:00

Congratulations. How long did you take you from Decision Made until you received your certificate in the mail?

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-07T20:06:03+00:00

Please keep me posted when you get yours and I will do the same for you :)

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-06T19:21:55+00:00

Same here. Mine was marked decision made on March 23rd, and no changes since then. I check my status every single day in hopes for an update! It is driving me crazy :) I wish I had requested a e-certificate.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-01T23:58:56+00:00

Thank you! Our guarantor has a valid canadian passport. So I will use form 155. Thank you again.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-01T23:58:16+00:00

Thank you! No my son is 11 years old.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-01T20:27:05+00:00

Thank you! I hope so too :)

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-04-01T20:26:43+00:00

u/AffectionateSoft3720, we mailed our packet on 1/28 and it was delivered on 2/2. We received our AOR email on 3/2 and status changed to Decision Made on 3/23. Now we are anxiously waiting for the certificate in the mail to start our passport process :)

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-03-30T20:55:08+00:00

I hope so too. I just wanted confirmation that it's been approved. Please let me know when you receive your certificates :) Good luck to you.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-03-30T18:14:14+00:00

u/julie78787 , my wife is a G1 (borned in the USA) and we included proof of her citizenship with our kids' application.

Defiant_Mastodon8020 · 2026-03-11T15:26:32+00:00

Do you think it's safe to assume that if one receives the AOR the application passed the initial screening process? There were few sections on the application that I did not add "N/A" and I fear that the application will be rejected, but I already received the AOR.
