My Department registers persons residing in the Dublin area only. The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) processes all applications outside of Dublin through the Garda Station network.

The Immigration Service of my Department works closely with the GNIB to ensure that we continue to focus on delivering high quality services to all of our immigration customers outside of the Dublin region. While there are no immediate plans to extend the online renewal system to Registration Offices outside Dublin, this is being kept under review, including in the context of implementing the recommendation of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. 

Individuals wishing to register or renew their permissions, and who reside outside Dublin, should contact their local Immigration Officer on the email address provided prior to attending at a Garda Station. Individuals without an appointment will not be seen. Further information on the contact details for all the registration offices outside Dublin is available on:
