Which is a unique identification number used in Ireland. It is issued by the Department of Social Protection and is used for accessing public services, social welfare benefits, and interacting with government agencies and departments.

PPSN stands for “Personal Public Service Number,” which is a unique identification number used in Ireland. It is issued by the Department of Social Protection and is used for accessing public services, social welfare benefits, and interacting with government agencies and departments.

Key points about the PPSN:

Uniqueness: Each person in Ireland who needs to access public services or benefits is assigned a unique PPSN. It is a means of identification across various government services and programs.

Legal Basis: The PPSN is governed by legislation under the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005. This legislation outlines the purposes for which the PPSN can be used and the responsibilities of individuals and agencies handling PPSN-related information.

Use in Public Services: The PPSN is utilized for accessing a range of public services, including social welfare payments, healthcare services, education grants, tax-related matters, employment services, and more.

Privacy and Security: The Department of Social Protection is responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of PPSNs. Data protection laws in Ireland regulate the collection, storage, and use of PPSNs to ensure individuals’ privacy rights are protected.

Application Process: When a person is born in Ireland or moves there and requires access to public services or benefits, they can apply for a PPSN through the Department of Social Protection. This involves submitting documentation to verify identity and eligibility for services.

Format: The PPSN is a unique combination of seven numbers followed by a single or double check character (e.g., 1234567T).

Importance: The PPSN is crucial for accessing and availing various government services and benefits, and it is necessary to have one to work or claim social welfare payments in Ireland.

It’s important to safeguard your PPSN and only share it when necessary for authorized government-related activities. Misuse or improper handling of PPSN-related information could result in legal consequences under data protection laws in Ireland.

Remember, this information is based on the context as of my last update in January 2022. For the most current and detailed information regarding PPSN usage, it’s recommended to consult official government resources or the Department of Social Protection in Ireland.

What is a PPSN and how do I get one?

The Personal Public Service Number is how any state body identifies you for welfare or tax reasons. You give it to your employer so that your taxes get filed correctly. You should only be asked for your PPSN AFTER an offer of employment, you are not required to give it at the recruitment stage.

If you born in or worked in Ireland after 1979 then you probably already have a PPSN even if you don’t know it. You can get in touch with your local welfare office and they can find it for you.

If you moved to Ireland you still need one to work legally. You will need to make an appointment with a welfare office (one of these ones), tell them why you need it (job-seeking, etc.) and bring these things:

- a print out of your appointment notification

- your passport

- any visa/work permit document (if non-EU)

In order to get a bank account you need a PPSN (Personal Public Service Number), which means - yep, that’s right - waiting in line with more paperwork! JOOOOOOYYYY.

You can make an online appointment for this actually, which resulted in my waiting about 45 minutes because I get paranoid about being late and arrived 45 minutes early.

Heh. Anyway,

I made an appointment and they handed me a two-sided form to fill out then and there, while asking a few questions. One of which was, why did I in fact need a PPS number? My first answer was so that I could open a bank account.

Wrong.

So I can work?

Also wrong.

The person working with me was kind enough to inform me that I need a PPS number so that I can pay taxes. That is a valid reason, and my boss telling me to get one was not, nor was my desire to make money or open a bank account. Because apparently it’s not all about me. Whatever.

So when you go for your PPS number, be sure to give your best ‘For the good of the state’ face and sweetly declare that you only want to pay taxes and help your fellow man, therefore you really should have a PPS number.
