    How long does it take from when you apply to get one at the station to the card arriving? The Garda said to me it'd take about 5 weeks and I've been waiting 6 weeks now almost. Does it arrive at your house or do you have to go to the station to collect it? I know some people who only had to wait a couple of weeks for their's to arrive but others had to wait like 2 months?!? How long does it take to put your pic on a card with your DOB and name on it?!?!?!????

    I know people who it took 8 months for theirs to arrive.

    The Gardaí have more important things to be dealing with ;)

    I've applied for one of those twice and never got it. My little brother was waiting 3 months IIRC.

    Well mine took 13 weeks exactly [not that I obsessively counted or anything >_> ]. It arrives to your house in most cases.

    It really doesn't take as long as they say. I had to pick mine up from the local station. It took mine no more than 3 weeks and they gave me a call. Try calling the local station who can contact headquarters maybe something got lost along the way.

    It gets delivered to your house. Mine took four weeks but I know of more than a few people who were waiting upwards of ten weeks to get theirs. You can't second guess when it's going to arrive.

    Ok OP, I reckon you have your answer here. There seems to be quite a few people waiting some time for their age cards, so you may have to wait a bit longer or call the Gardai to speed it up a bit. Good luck with it.
