Hi guys,

We received the oath letter (online application, virtual ceremony on a Saturday). the letter didn't talk or say anything about an e-certificate, is it possible to ask for that? application date is July 2022. Many thanks

Your only option is a paper certificate if you haven't been asked to participate in the e-certificate pilot

I had my oath recently on the 11th May, application was submitted Dec 2021 but I had to reschedule first oath due to being out of country. So e-cert was not a thing when I applied.

During the ID verification on zoom, I asked if I could get an e-cert instead and they agreed. I was able to download it by the following Monday.

What was your Visa Office that scheduled your oath?

Was it in person or virtual? how did you do it if you don't mind me asking?

Many thanks
It was virtual and I sent an email week ago to the ceremony and they confirmed it via email .

didn't give any reason but was asking if I can opt-in for it.

I didn’t give a reason, I just told them I’d prefer the e-cert over waiting for the paper one
that is great but which email address did you send it to? not the one on the letter right? through the contact us web form?

Thanks

I did not email, during my oath ceremony ceremony after we had to cut up our PR card I asked the person attending to me.
