While an application was received from the person concerned, not all documentation was provided. The applicant has been notified of this and has been asked to provide all of the required documentation.

Where a person comes or is coming to the State and requires a PPS Number, they can attend and apply in person at a PPS Number allocation centre. At this centre, they should provide acceptable evidence of identity and proof that a PPS Number is required in order to carry out a transaction with a specified body.

Where a person is not present in the State and requires a PPS Number to transact business with a public body, a separate registration process is provided by the Department by post or email. Copies of identity documents and evidence as to the requirement for a PPS Number are provided by the applicant.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
