No, you would need to be confirmed to be a sponsor.
A Confirmation sponsor is a confirmed Catholic in good standing who mentors the Confiramation candidate before he or she is confirmed. Traditionally the Confirmation sponsor is a Godparent (connecting Baptism to Confirmation), but does not have to be.
A sponsor can be male or female, and must be at least age 16, a Catholic in good standing, and confirmed.
Someone who stands in for the sponsor if the sponsor cannot make the ceremony. The proxy should also be Catholic and Confirmed.
Yes, to be a sponsor of Baptism or Confirmation you need to be Catholic, Confirmed, and at least age 16. If you are Catholic but not Confirmed you can be a Christian witness godfather as long as another sponsor godmother is Catholic and Confirmed.
Confirmation does not normally require a sponsor, although most bishops ask for one. In the case that your bishop requires a sponsor, he would issue the rules for that, normally any confirmed Catholic in good standing with the Church.
When you write to your priest requesting to be Confirmed in the Church, & he enrols you in Catechesis classes.
There are only 3 requirements for being a confirmation sponsor: 1) You must be a practicing Catholic and already have been Confirmed. 2) You cannot be the parent of the person you sponsor. 3) After becoming a person's sponsor, you cannot marry them. If you fulfill all of these, you can most definitely be a sponsor.
Yes, no problem. If the deacon is assisting the bishop at the Confirmation, he can step down to sponsor at Confirmation then return. If he is not assisting the bishop, he simply sits in the congregation with the other sponsors, without vesting.

No, a sponsor can be male or female, so a boy can have a female sponsor and a girl can have male sponsor if they choose. The sponsor should be practicing Catholic who has received Confirmation, age 16 or more, and not a parent.
Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough your parish or diocese may have specific requirements for a Confirmation sponsor, I believe the only absolute requirement is that he or she already be Confirmed in the Catholic Church, in the same rite that you are seeking Confirmation.
Yes, you must be a registered and active Catholic to be considered as a sponsor for Confirmation. If the person is from a different parish, the local pastor will contact the church to verify this.
