Irish Citizenship Form - Certified copies of passport?

WestieBoy · 02-12-2014 04:53PM #1

Hello,

I am about to post of my application for Irish citizenship, I have got all copies of documents certified etc. Included in the list of documents to include is "copies of all other pages of your passport and full copies of any previous passport valid during periods of residence in the state."

Does this mean copies of blank pages of my passport, or just pages that have Irish stamps on them.?

I don't want to go back to the solicitor to get 150 pages (3 passports) copies & certified if I don't have to, but I also don't want to post off my application if it's going to come back to me because it's incomplete.

Did anyone else copy (or not copy) the blank pages of your passport when applying?

The want the whole thing. If you leave pages that are blank, how will they know that the pages are blank? For all they know, you could have left out pages showing stamps denoting entry into and exit from Ireland, and so affecting the calculation of how much time you have spent here in a way that might be relevant to your application.

Ring them and ask them.

You do need to include copies of all pages of all passports you have held during your period of residence in the State - even if they are blank.

You don't need to have them all certified. Just the photo page of your current passport (and, if it doesn't include your name and the passport expiry date, the page that does too).

Thanks for your replies, I guess it makes sense to copy even the blank pages to prove that they are blank.

We are all set to post it off on Monday, just want to go over it all again before we post it off.

Thanks again...
