A Personal Public Service (PPS) Number is a unique reference number that helps a person access social welfare benefits and public services in Ireland. To get a PPS Number, a person must provide evidence of their identity, why they need a PPS Number and their address.

According to the records of my Department, the person concerned applied for a PPS Number on 27/03/2024. The application was referred back to the person’s MyWelfare account on 28/03/2024 and 02/04/2024 requesting that they provide evidence of a valid reason for their PPS Number request and advised that a list of valid reasons is available on www.gov.ie.

To date, my Department has not received the requested information, therefore, the person’s application for a PPS Number has not been progressed. When the necessary information is received, the person’s application will be assessed, and they will be advised of the outcome in writing.
