Proofs of Recidence for people who lives in Northern Ireland

[lamin0192]

Hi everyone.
I was looking on forums and web regarding proof of recidency for people who lives in NI(Northern Ireland) and are planing to apply in near future for Irish passport but I didn't found any clear information. I have downloaded scorecard of proofs of residency 2022 where is mentioned clear how I can get 150p.
But the thing is that there and on the web is not mention anything about if your Bank account, Mortgage, Rent, Hospital attendace should be ONLY IN Ireland.
Or you can have a UK bank account and a credit card in HSBC, for example, with an address in NI.
So, my question is, is all the information contained in the 2022 scorecard is applicable to the people of Northern Ireland, too, or not?
I will be thankful for any information.

On this link https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to- ... residence/ you can download the latest guidance document, on page 6 it says "The Statements must record point of sale (POS) transactions monthly (with ROI or NI addresses).
Typically this will mean a minimum of three POS transactions per month for each of the required
number of years", so FEELS like an NI address should be good.

Thank you kingzz
But I would like to know as well about Rent, Hospital attendance,Utility bills.
Will they admit this from NI as proof?

NI residency is only relevant if you are applying as spouse (or child in the appropriate circumstances) of an Irish national as far as I am aware. On what basis are you applying?

I plan to apply as an EU citizen on an independent basis.
Are there any articles of official information that can be shared?
Or these are more personal thoughts?

No they aren’t personal thoughts. The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts (of 1956 being the most relevant I believe - but consult an immigration lawyer) sets out eligibility for Irish naturalisation. The recently published Citizenship Guidance document summarises eligibility in layman’s terms, page 3: ‘to be eligible for Irish Citizenship you must have been able to demonstrate that you have been resident in Ireland for’… etc.

In this instance, Ireland means the Republic not NI, unless a spouse or child of Irish national in certain circumstances. You’d have to see if your residency in NI entitles you to UK citizenship. It doesn’t entitle you to Irish.

The NI reference to POS transactions on bank statements is principally for spouses and children of Irish nationals, who can have reckonable residency while living in NI. It would also cover residents of the RoI if they were briefly in NI. You are seeing the majority of references to RoI documents because that is the requirement for all excluding the exceptions I mention.

You can only apply Irish citizenship with NI residence only if you're a spouse of Irish citizen.
Otherwise you have to live in he Republic for 5 years and apply on your own merits.
