Students normally apply after they are living in Ireland and have a genuine reason for needing one, such as starting employment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What is a PPS Number used for?<\/h2>\n<p>The PPS Number is a unique reference number used when dealing with certain Irish public services. For international students, it becomes particularly relevant when beginning work and dealing with tax registration.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need a PPS Number before I travel?<\/h2>\n<p>No. You do not normally obtain a PPS Number in advance simply because you plan to study in Ireland.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need it before applying for jobs?<\/h2>\n<p>No. An employer should not need your PPS Number just to consider your application or interview you. It becomes relevant when you are actually taking up employment.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I apply?<\/h2>\n<p>Adults living in Ireland can normally apply through MyWelfare using a MyGovID account. You may be asked for proof of identity, proof of address and evidence showing why you need the number.<\/p>\n<h2>Proof of address<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure the address evidence you use is acceptable for the current application process. If you are living in school-arranged accommodation or have recently moved, check which document is suitable before submitting the application.<\/p>\n<h2>PPS Number and tax<\/h2>\n<p>Once you start working, your employment and tax position also need to be registered correctly with Revenue. The PPS Number is one part of that process.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid unofficial \u201cPPS services\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Use official Irish Government channels. Do not pay an unknown third party to \u201cguarantee\u201d a PPS Number or faster processing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywelfare.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MyWelfare<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/ru\/finding-a-job-in-dublin\/\">Finding a Job in Dublin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PPS Number for International Students in Ireland A PPS Number is your Personal Public Service Number.
