The person concerned made an application for a Personal Public Service (PPS) Number in January 2021. Additional information was sought by my officials in order to progress the application. However, it appears the information was not provided and so the application expired after 21 days.

The person concerned recently submitted a new application online but had not uploaded proof of address or a valid reason for the PPS Number. If the person concerned is applying for a PPS Number to take up employment, he must have a signed offer of employment from his employer confirming when his job is due to start or when it started. This letter should be on company headed paper with the employer’s contact details and employer/company registered number.

An official from my department has contacted the person concerned regarding the outstanding documentation.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
