How to get a PPS number in Wexford
- Check you need one. Starting a job, claiming a payment, a driving licence or school are valid reasons. Only looking for work is not. Already had a number? Don't apply again.
- Create a basic MyGovID account (email and password).
- Apply on MyWelfare.ie and give your reason and personal details. Add your child to the same application if needed.
- Choose Wexford Intreo Centre as the location, then pick a date and time. MyWelfare sends a notification with the appointment and your document list.
- Attend in person at Anne Street, Wexford, Y35 E29K. Children being registered must come too. The number is posted to you after checks.
