How can my spouse apply for citizenship?

Your spouse must have permanent residence in Iceland in order to apply.

If you are an Icelandic citizen, an application for citizenship may be made after 4 years of residence. You must have been an Icelandic citizen for a minimum of 5 years.

If you have been living together but not married, you can apply for citizenship after 5 years of residence.

A spouse must submit the same supporting documents as others, in addition to a marriage certificate or confirmation of cohabitation.
