Irish Naturalization based on marriage to an Irish Citizen with lost naturalization cert

[sammyzoe]

Hi,
Thank you for all the insights you guys have provided on this platform as its been helpful thus far.
I am married to an Irish citizen and I am a non-eea member resident in Eire. I am due to apply for naturalization but I am a little bit confused on one of the requirements which states that I need to submit proof of the basis on which my spouse became an Irish citizen.
My spouse became an Irish citizen on the basis of naturalization donkey years ago and she doesn't have her naturalization certificate anymore except her Irish passport.
Will her Irish passport suffice as proof or what can we do, I will appreciate your advice in this regards.

Thanks

She needs to write to INIS to request for a proof of naturalisation.

Thank you for your response.
Does she need to attach anything to the letter? or just a simple letter requesting a statement of her naturalization?

I’m not sure. Maybe just give as much detail as possible as to her full name, DOB, proof of address, copy of other ID (driving licence, Public Service card etc), and maybe attach a copy of her other passport if possible.

The citizeninformation website only says the following:

If your certificate of naturalisation is lost or stolen, you should write to the Citizenship Division of INIS...... You will not get a replacement certificate but instead you will be given a statement confirming your Irish citizenship. There is no fee for this service.
