Introduction The Public Services Card was introduced in 2012 to facilitate ease of access to public services. Once a PSC has been issued, it will facilitate identity verification to Public Service providers. The PSC is issued following a secure registration process (SAFE registration). Having been SAFE registered and issued a PSC you can then register for MyGovId to access Government Services online. The card has initially been rolled out to social welfare recipients and to new applicants for other social welfare payments. If you apply for, or are currently getting a social welfare payment (including Child Benefit) you may receive an invitation to register for your Public Services Card. A Public Services Card is usually issued when you are allocated a PPS number. The Public Services Card is used to collect social welfare payments and is replacing the Free Travel paper Pass. The Passport Service of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has announced that as of 29 March 2016, all first-time passport applicants aged 18 and above who are resident in Ireland will need to have a Public Services Card (PSC) for identification purposes. This new requirement also applies to the small number of adult passport applicants whose last passport was issued prior to 1 January 2005 and has since been reported as lost, stolen or damaged. What information does this card display? The front of the card holds a person’s name, photograph and signature, along with the card expiry date. The back of the card holds the person’s PPS number and a card number. It also holds a magnetic stripe to enable social welfare payments such as pensions to be collected at post offices If the person holding the card is entitled to free travel the card will also display this information in the top left-hand corner. If FT-P is written on the card the holder is personally entitled to free travel. If FT+S is written on the card the holder can travel with their spouse, partner or cohabitant. If FT+C is written on the card the holder can have a companion (over 16) travel with them for free (because they are unable to travel alone for medical reasons). Registering for a Public Services Card Face-to-face registration for a Public Services Card is called SAFE (Standard Authentication Framework Environment) registration. The Department of Social Protection will send you a letter with your SAFE registration appointment. SAFE registration takes about 15 minutes to complete and usually takes place in your local social welfare office or Intreo centre. It is important that you attend for your appointment. It will help to avoid any potential difficulty with access to social welfare payments in the future. During this appointment your photograph will be taken and your signature recorded for your new Public Services Card, which will be posted to your home address. You will also be asked for the answers to some security questions. You must bring certain documents with you to your appointment to prove your identity and address. You should also bring the letter you got confirming your appointment. If you currently have a Social Services Card (a swipe card used to collect social welfare payments), bring that with you too. You must prove your identify to receive a social welfare payment or benefit. If you comply with the SAFE registration process when requested you are considered to have authenticated your identity. If you do not comply with the SAFE registration process your social welfare payments (including Child Benefit) and/or your social welfare entitlements (such as Free Travel) may be suspended. Documents to bring to your SAFE registration appointment Evidence of identity: If you wish to get a copy of your Irish birth certificate for SAFE registration purposes, you can get it from the Registrar at a reduced rate when you show your SAFE invitation letter. Evidence of address (applies to everyone, whether an Irish, EU or non-EU citizen): You need to show evidence of your address. You can use any of the following documents to do this (it must show your name and address): - A household utility bill - An official letter/document - A financial statement - Property lease or tenancy agreement, - Verifiable employer's letter* - Confirmation of address by a third party such as a school principal/administrator, accommodation/property owner**or manager. *Your employer does not need to own or provide the accommodation. **If you are staying with friends or relatives an original household bill plus a note from the bill holder confirming your residency at the bill address is acceptable. This note can be written on the bill itself. Additional helpful documents If you have any of the items listed below, you should bring them along with you as they may also help to confirm your identity. If you do not have any of these, you should bring other documents or forms of photo ID instead*. - Irish Free Travel Pass - Medical card issued under the General Medical Service - European health insurance card - Credit/debit card - Student card *The following items are not acceptable as proof of identity for the purpose of SAFE registration: Baptismal certificate, work ID card, Garda form ML-10, Garda age card, photocopied certificates or documents and expired documents generally. Lost or damaged Public Services Cards If your Public Services Card is lost, stolen or damaged, you should immediately contact the Public Services Card Helpdesk at 1890 837000. Where to apply While the Public Services Card is mainly issued by invitation, you can also contact your local social welfare office or Intreo centre to arrange an appointment. Face-to-face SAFE Public Service Card registration can be carried out in certain Intreo centres and social welfare local offices. Online appointments If you want to get a PPS number or to be registered for a Public Services Card, you can now make an appointment online at mywelfare.ie. You will first need to register with the site. To do this you need a mobile phone number and two email addresses (a main address and an alternate address). When you have made your appointment, print the notification and bring it to your appointment along with the required documents (listed in the notification). A list of offices offering an online appointment booking system is available here.

Réamhrá Tá Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nua á thabhairt isteach a chuirfear in ionad an Chárta Seirbhísí Sóisialta, i dtosach báire, a úsáideadh chun íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh a bhailiú agus in ionad an Phas Saorthaistil. Tugadh isteach an cárta den chéad uair in 2012. Tá sé á thabhairt isteach faoi láthair i measc daoine a fhaigheann íocaíochtaí áirithe leasa shóisialaigh agus iarratasóirí nua d’íocaíochtaí eile leasa shóisialaigh. Ní bhfaighidh gach cliant leasa shóisialaigh Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí láithreach. Eisítear an Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí ar cheann amháin den dá bhealach a leanas: - Clárú duine ar dhuine – féach ‘Clárú le haghaidh Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí’ thíos - Clárú poist, féach ‘Clárú poist’ thíos Clárú le haghaidh Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí Tugtar clárú SAFE (Timpeallacht Creatlaí i gcomhair Fíordheimhniú Caighdeáin) ar chlárú duine ar dhuine le haghaidh Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí.

Glacann clárú SAFE thart ar 15 nóiméad lena chríochnú agus is gnách go mbíonn sé ar siúl i d’oifig áitiúil leasa shóisialaigh. Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfreastalaíonn tú ar do choinne. Cabhróidh sé chun aon deacracht fhéideartha a sheachaint maidir le rochtain a fháil ar íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh amach anseo. Le linn na coinne seo, glacfar do ghrianghraf agus cuirfear i dtaifead do shíniú do do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nua, a chuirfear sa phost chuig do sheoladh baile.
