The Department of Social Protection has no record of any application for a PPS Number from the person mentioned.

In order for a person to be allocated a PPS Number, she or he must verify his or her identity and also demonstrate the requirement for one to be issued, i.e., that a transaction with a specified public body is to be carried out.

Generally, application for a PPS Number requires attendance at a PPS Number Registration Centre. The PPS Number Registration Centre for Dublin is located at Kings Inn Street just off Parnell Street in Dublin city centre.

The process involves evidence of identity and address being examined, verified and recorded. Further details in relation to the process and the documents required are set out on the Department’s website.
