Residence proof: can I use two 100-point documents instead of 100 + 50?
I’m preparing an Irish citizenship by naturalisation application and I’m a bit confused by the current residence evidence guidance.
The newer “How to Become an Irish Citizen Guide” says that for each year you need at least 150 points, with at least one strong official document. It also describes supporting documents as optional.
For some years I have two strong official documents worth 100 points each, for example:
- Revenue Employment Detail Summary, 100 points
- AIB bank statement with regular transactions, 100 points
So that would give me 200 points for the year.
However, another ISD page still says that you must submit one Type A document worth 100 points and one Type B document worth 50 points.
I also asked the ISD chatbot Tara and it insisted on 100 + 50, but it appears to be relying on the older “Proofs of identity and residence” page.
Has anyone submitted a naturalisation application in 2026 using 100 + 100 instead of 100 + 50?
Was it accepted without any request for additional documents?
I’m especially interested in actual recent applications rather than interpretations of the guidance.
