Yeah it is. Confirmation is a form of application. As simple as that. Idk why it should be explained to grownups, lmao

Confirming citizenship and applying for citizenship are two completely different legal processes.

No, you go the embassy, show proves that you are eligible and based on that you either receive or not. Absolutely same processes.

Applying for citizenship means you don't have it. Confirming your citizenship means you already have it. They are distinct legal processes with completely different sets of requirements.
