PPS Registration 2024

Your local Dwellworks consultant will speak to you about this and answer any questions you have about this process. It is important to know that you will need to provide evidence of why you need a PPS Number. You can only get a PPS Number if you need it to access public services. For example, if you are starting a job, you will need a PPS Number to pay tax, or you will need a PPS number to learn to drive or exchange a driving licence.

Other considerations for spouse/partner/family members applying for PPS For those who will be working in Ireland is it straight forward to apply for a PPS number as the number is required for paying taxes. For those who will not be working in Ireland, there are restrictions on getting a PPS number. Please see the below: Married couples where one party is NOT working in Ireland : In order for the spouse who is NOT working in Ireland to get a PPS number they must explain that they wish to get a PPS number in order to transfer tax credits to their spouse who is working. There is a special form to complete for this “Assessable Spouse Election Form”. This form should be brought to the PPSmeeting. Civil Partnership where one party is NOT working in Ireland: In order for the civil partner who is NOT working in Ireland to get a PPS number they must explain that they wish to get a PPS number in order to transfer tax credits to their spouse who is working. There is a special form to complete for this “Nominated Civil Partner’s Election Form”. This form should be brought to the PPSmeeting. Married & Registered civil partners ONLY: Registered civil partners ONLY are treated the same way for tax purposes. Please note that Revenue (Irish tax system) recognises only certain registered foreign marriages and civil partnerships for tax purposes. A list of all foreign marriages and civil partnerships recognised in Ireland is given by the Department of Justice and Equality and documents required for each country is HERE. Non-married/Cohabiting couples : Revenue assess cohabiting couples as single individuals. The partner who is NOT working in Ireland will generally be required to have a job to be able to apply for a PPS. It is not necessary to have a PPS Number order to seek employment. If however, they are looking to do driving lessons to apply for a driving licence a PPS is required. In this case, on the PPS application form the reason should be stated as “Apply for driving licence”. The application form for a driving licence is HERE.
