Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
930. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the criteria when applying for a social services card (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11847/18]
View answerA Public Services Card (PSC) may be issued to a person who has successfully completed a SAFE 2 registration. As part of the SAFE registration process, a person’s identity is verified, usually by means of acceptable photographic ID.
Where an Irish citizen person does not have acceptable photographic ID, their identity may be verified by means of an interview process.
ML10 forms are issued in certain circumstances by a Garda for use by financial organisations for anti-money laundering purposes. However, the form is not, in itself, acceptable as evidence of identity for the purposes of SAFE registration.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
