The District of Columbia Confirmation Sponsor/Godparent Eligibility Certificate is issued by the government of Washington D.C. to certify that an individual is eligible to act as a Confirmation Sponsor or Godparent for a Catholic Confirmation ceremony in the District of Columbia. The certificate is issued to a person who is a practicing Catholic, is of legal age, and has received the Sacrament of Confirmation. The certificate must be signed by a parish priest and presented to the parish where the Confirmation ceremony will take place. There are two types of District of Columbia Confirmation Sponsor/Godparent Eligibility Certificates: a Certificate of Eligibility for a Confirmation Sponsor and a Certificate of Eligibility for a Godparent. The Certificate of Eligibility for a Confirmation Sponsor must include the name, address, and phone number of the Confirmation Sponsor, as well as a statement that the Confirmation Sponsor has received the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Certificate of Eligibility for a Godparent must include the same information as the Certificate of Eligibility for a Confirmation Sponsor, in addition to a statement that the Godparent is a practicing Catholic.
