In order for someone to act as a Godparent or a Sponsor for Confirmation, they must have received the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. If they are married, they must have been married in a Catholic Church or in a ceremony recognized by the Catholic Church.
Godparents and Sponsors must also obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from their home parishes indicating that they are attending Mass on a regular basis and that they fulfill all requirements. If both Godparents are Catholic, they both must obtain certificates.
