Photo ID Passport application question

[meldives]

I'm applying for my Irish passport after receiving naturalisation. On the passport application form notes it says...

"Photo ID: the original or certified copy (by the garda who witnessed your application form) of One or more of the following documents eg, driving license, college ID card, social club membership, passport from another country.

I went to the garda station yesterday and the garda wouldn't certify my colour copy of my driving license as he said they don't certify documents anymore, so i thought 'ok, i'll send in my other passport'

However,
On the notes that come with the naturalisation certificate it says " Photo ID: a copy of your driving license (this copy must be certified by a Garda) or your original college ID card, original sicial club membership card AND your original passport.

So the official notes say one or more, so just my passport would be ok, but the notes with the naturalisation certificate say drivers license AND passport.

What have other people done? Have you had your photo ID certified by the gardai? Will i be ok just sending in my passport? Unfortunatly i'm under a bit of pressure due to an unexpected work trip at the end of the month so i need to get it right first time.

Thanks

I've seen this happen to few people (naturalised Irish) and I find this to be extremely disgraceful and nonsensical. Try and go back to the same station when there is a different work-shift and simply ask them that you'll like to certify your licence. If they ask why, tell them it for work purposes. Dont take no for an answer from these idiots.

Yep, I went back at lunch time and the garda had no problem with certifying the document. Application is now with passport express
