Official documents in Ireland

Irish document tasks have different issuers and evidence requirements. A first passport, a replacement driving licence and renewal of residence permission each need their own checklist. Keep required originals separate from personal scans.

Start with birth certificates, a lost driving licence, first-passport supporting documents or a PPS Number application, according to the record you need.

For an existing immigration permission, prepare the online IRP renewal documents for your stamp category. The passport page and IRP card do not replace the additional permission-specific evidence.
