Minor children under the age of sixteen who are in the care of non EU national parents who have been granted permission to remain in the State under the IBC/05 scheme, avail of the same permission to remain in the State as that granted to their parents. When such minor children reach sixteen years of age they are obliged to register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau or their local Immigration Officer, in their own right. In order to register, they must first submit an application, in writing, to remain in the State based on being a family dependant of the parent of an Irish born child who has been granted residency under the IBC/05 scheme. The application should be submitted to Irish Born Child Unit, P.O. Box 10003, Dublin 2 and should be accompanied by the applicant's original passport, original long form birth certificate (translated if not in English), two signed passport size photographs and an up to date letter confirming attendance at school/ college.
