Hi Zepman, I have not applied for citizenship through marriage. I'm only married 2 years so i wouldn't have been eligible. My application was based on being in the country for the last 12 years and not using my husband as reference was the advice i got from INIS. Good luck with your application! Ah...
I have applied for citizenship and likewise, my 3rd reference was my Irish hubby. I was told that the husband can't be my reference, so i had to get some one else .. Thanks for your reply! Having your spouse as your reference does seem obvious that you probably shouldn't do that. Yes, it's obvious ...
My wife will be applying for naturalisation soon based on her marriage to me (I became an Irish citizen by naturalisation last year). I have been wondering if I could be one of 3 Irish referees required for Section 14 of Form 8. Thinking from the perspective of an application reviewer, I would think...
Hi Zepmen I am in same situation could you please let me what documents were required and visa period that was given on counter. Thanks You mean the GNIB stamp, right? We were asked for the following documents. - My wife's passport + her GNIB card - My passport from my country of origin + my Irish ...
Is not there a rule that you have to be an Irish citizen yourself for at least 3 years before your wife applies for naturalisation based on your marriage? No, the rule is that you have to be married for at least 3 years. The citizenship of the spouse during that period is irrelevant, as long as the...
I made a copy of the biometric pages of all my passport and it was accepted. In addition to that, you will need to have it authenticated by the notary public same day you sign your declaration . The certification was required back when the original passport was not required to be sent in with the a...
Hi, Not sure if this already been answered on here, but I couldn't find anything using the search function. I am a naturalised Irish citizen, and my wife will be applying for naturalisation next month based on her marriage to me. In this category, the additional documentation to be submitted includ...

This area would be ok with me as we are married for 4 years
Yeah, that's evident from your first post. I just wanted to correct inaccurate information for the sake of others who might be in a similar position and reading this thread.
Regarding Question 2: You can use - insurance/clinic visits/ letters from GP or anything that has a date, her name, and address. Good luck. Thanks, Tatalo. I was aware of that, but she really had no documents in her name prior to 2015 since I was on temporary work contracts until then and we hadn't...
Hi, My wife will be applying for naturalisation next year based on her marriage to me (I became an Irish citizen by naturalisation earlier this year). We have been married since mid-2012 and she's been living in Ireland since around the same time as well. So she already satisfies the 3-years-of-resi...
Yes, I already submitted P60, Revenue documents, employer letter, payslips and Bank statements for last 5 years Okay, that's what I asked in my first reply - whether you have submitted the required number of more proofs of residence (i.e., 3) for each year. Now it looks like you have submitted more...
I submitted 5 years of ESB bills, but they want 2 more utility bills for 5 years. I don't have any more Utility bills register with my name. Please advise Okay, it looks like you missed it but it's mentioned in the required documentation section of the application form that they need " Three d...
What do you mean by "...like the application form..."? The references section is part of the application form and hence the black pen/writing in block capitals rule applies to it as well. It may not be a big deal and they might actually accept it as it is, but I personally wouldn't do it a...
Hi, I noticed that first-time naturalized citizens applicats for passport need to send their original (country of origin) passport together with the application, do you know how long does it take to get the (country of origin) passport back? Thanks, It is held on to for the entire duration of the a...
What information are you going to be withholding? The question refers merely to studying based residence, your wife had not residence for studying purpose at any stage as per the information provided by you. If you put “Yes” it will imply that she was at some stage a Stamp 2 holder which is the sta...
@indianzeppelin Thanks for the info. so I guess I should start looking into open appointment slots. by the way, did they ask for any other documents? i.e. payslips/proof of address? Cheers! Yes, keep looking for an appointment. If you see any open slots, book one for a date after the citizenship ce...
@indianzeppelin I would put “No” but that’s my personal opinion. Your wife’s residence here was on Stamp 3 until recently that she changed it to Stamp 4, her residence was never on the basis of studying. You're right. As I said, "No" makes sense based on the phrasing of the question. Howe...
@indianzeppelin By the way, how did she got the Stamp 4? did you have to wait until you got the passport? or you just went the GNIB to get her Stamp4 with the naturalization cert? did you have to book an appointment? The day after I got my citizenship approval letter (back in February), I made an a...
Hi, I got naturalised as an Irish citizen last month following which, my wife got her Stamp 4. Before this, she was on Stamp 3 starting from the time she entered Ireland, 5 years ago. She was enrolled in a Master's program in the 2015-2016 academic year during which she continued to be on Stamp 3. N...
