PPSN

As part of the introduction of PAYE Modernisation in the Irish tax system we have been advised by Revenue that everyone including external examiners must:

  1. Have a valid PPSN (Personal Public Service Number).  AND
  2. Register with “myAccount” on the Revenue website.

Step 1 – Applying for PPSN Number as a Non Resident

As a non-resident, it is possible for you to apply for an Irish PPSN, without having to attend in person to their offices.  You need to complete the relevant documentation, see below, and either scan and email OR post the application.

Download Reg 1 Application Form

Scan and email to: cis@nullwelfare.iePost: Client Identity Services, Department of Social Protection, Shannon Lodge, Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim, Ireland

A PPSN number will be sent to you within 2 weeks. Information on the PPSN application is available below.

  • REG1 Application Form (must include mother’s birth surname and co-signed by a witness – a person known to you)
