Statement of citizenship for ceremony attendees

[AlmostIrish_111]

This is a question out of curiosity after reading the comments people added to the post-ceremony naturalisation certificate timeline thread.

It is beyond stupid and non-sensical the decision made by the Department of Justice to stop handing new citizens their naturalisation certificate at the ceremony, and to leave them in a "limbo", but couldn't the new citizens fill out the Questionnaire for the purpose of issuing a statement to the effect that a
person has been granted Irish citizenship form (https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-cont ... t-Cert.pdf) and at least have a document issued by the Irish government confirming his/hers new status as an Irish citizen?

Does anyone know if this would be allowed?

It asks a) for a certificate number and b) a police report that you've lost the original certificate. Also, I doubt they'll be any quicker with that than issuing an actual cert.

It's not made for these niche situations - it's just you get a certificate once and if you lose it, then you apply for a statement, as they won't give you a replacement cert.
