    Like any other document yeah Id presume so. Theyll probably give ya a scowl, lest they think yiv sold it to some 16 year old who vaguely resembles you.

    Mine took 4 months to arrive, lost it last new year, just use the passport these days.

    I think you're meant to give in the serial number of your age card to the guards, they seem to take losing it fairly seriously.

    I lost my Guarda Card about 6 years ago and mentioned it in passing about 2 years ago to a Guard and he said to report it officially and they should be able to replace it free of charge.
    I doubt they take it that seriously.
    It'll probably just take a while getting to you.

    (Ps. In my day we used to just go to the Admin building in UCD and fork over €13 to get replacement cards.)

    from 'ere
    Replacing a lost/misplaced National Age Card

    If you have lost your National Age Card, it is possible to obtain a replacement. Simply download and complete the application form (see How to apply' below). Your completed form should be returned to your local Garda Station. Remember to inform the Garda on duty that you have lost your original Card and need to apply for a new one.

    You must remember to include two recent passport photos with your application. There is no charge for a replacement National Age Card.

    Rates

    An Age Card costs 6 euro. A replacement National Age Card is free of charge.

    Different Garda Stations have different methods of collecting this money so contact your Garda station to find out the appropriate method of payment in advance.
