Proof of residence

[rhysmate]

Hello,

I did a search and couldn't answer my specific Q.

I have been resident in Ireland for 24 years, and i want to get my citizenship.

My question is, do i need to provide proof of residence for each year going back that far (impossible, i was 5) or for the last 5 years? The instructions aren't fully clear. in one section it alludes to only 5 of the last 9 years?

Also, does this apply to P60 also?

Thanks

Just last 5 years.
If you are working, yes P60's for the last 5 years (although there won't be any new ones from next year).

Thanks for that, they don't make it very clear in the form!

You can also submit p21 instead of p60.

The p21 is available online if you are PAYE employee.

Thanks a million for that.

Do you know if they are ok with different addresses on those proofs of residence or do I need three from each address?? I moved quite a bit over the last 5 years.

For example, I have 3 from each year but some have different addresses on them. In 2016 I had 2 different address and have one proof from one and 2 from the other.

Yes It's fine. I moved three different places in five years when I applied in 2017.
