Amharc ar fhreagraA Personal Public Service (PPS) Number is a unique reference number that helps a person access social welfare benefits and public services in Ireland.
Following the person’s application for a PPS Number, they were invited to attend an in-person PPS Number appointment on 10/05/2024 at 12.10pm in the Newbridge Intreo Centre. Details of the appointment and the documentation required, were sent by email to the person concerned on 02/05/2024.
When the person attends their appointment with the necessary documentation and successfully completes the registration process, a PPS Number will be allocated, and they will receive confirmation of their PPS Number on the day. Their Public Services Card be posted to their address within 7-10 working days of their appointment date.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
