I wrote the country and the years I lived there. No states, or towns or addresses at all. Of course during the in-person interview they asked for my entire life story starting from birth until the day of the interview, so I expanded upon that a bit.
Sorry for the delay. I looked at my paperwork and I was even more vague than I remembered!
I don't want to jinx things, but if no-one objects, in two months I will be Swiss
Can anyone tell me what I have to do once I get that final letter? I live in a different canton to me future Heimatort. I'm not expecting it to be simple, this is Swiss bureaucracy after all
What do I need to give my current Gemeinde? A Heimatschein? New Familienausweis? Or are these sent automatically to them?
Do I need extra copies of these for the passport authorities?
Anything else, other than changing my driving licence that I will need to think of?
Cheers
Maybe tell SBB (for your GA or 1/2 card), the bank, and the mobile phone company of your status now as a citizen rather than as a permit holder, since all three would have asked for your permit information when you began service with them?
I stayed in the same canton, but before I could apply for the passport I had to wait for the Heimatort to send the documentation to the village where I live. Then the village gave me a copy (and billed me for the pleasure) of the updated Heimatschein which I took along to get the passport done. The village where you live keeps the original, apparently.
I didn't tell any of those, and I haven't updated my DL yet either. So far I haven't been thrown in jail.
Thanks. That would be helpful if they automatically send the documents rather than me having to request them.
Yay, more bills!
This one was 18 Francs. In comparison to the rest of the process, it was cheap.
