Naturlaistion

In Ireland, a Commissioner for Oaths plays a crucial role in the naturalisation process. Specifically, they are required to certify a color photocopy of the biometric page of your current passport, which is a mandatory requirement for naturalisation applications. This certification ensures the authenticity of the passport copy submitted with the application. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Certification Requirement:

    When applying for naturalisation in Ireland, you are required to provide a certified copy of your passport's biometric page. This copy must be certified by a qualified individual, such as a solicitor, a Commissioner for Oaths, a peace commissioner, or a notary public. 

  • Role of a Commissioner for Oaths:

    A Commissioner for Oaths is an individual authorized to administer oaths and affirmations, and they are also empowered to certify documents, according to The Courts Service of Ireland. 

  • Purpose of Certification:

    The certification process confirms that the provided copy is an accurate representation of the original passport page, which is essential for verifying your identity in the naturalisation application.
