Who can collect a registered letter?

Galway K9

I dunno where to put this so Galway City can be quite generic. Who can collect a registered letter from an post office?

Well the person it is addressed to or if you have the slip that was probably put through your door saying it was undeliverable there is an option to nominate someone else to collect it for you. You or the person collecting it will need photo ID though.

To AH where most An Post queries go.

Generally you have to do it at your local sorting office. Depending on the mood of the civil servant grunting behind the counter, sometimes they'll insist on photo ID, or proof or address or both or neither.

My wife has collected stuff for me, and vice-versa. Sometimes I've needed ID, other times they just give it to me without saying a word.

Let it go OP, most likely a summons

Any AH poster, so just stick up the relevant details here - location, bank account details, PIN etc - and one of us will sort it out for you.

Once you have the slip you wont get asked, ive collected loads and never once been asked for any proof of id.

Hell even my now ex gf (when we lived together) collected stuff addressed to me, with the post slip, and wasnt asked for id.

Postal Operatives aren't civil servants.

I was able to collect a registered letter for my dad before, but he had to nominate me as an "agent" on the form and the man in the sorting office asked for proof of ID.

Some never ask for ID and some treat it like state security to check for ID

Just sign the back of the slip and nominate someone and have ID just in case

On an offtopic note why did they put the Galway sorting office out on Tuam Rd??? There are no buses and no footpath. You can walk on the hard shoulder but dangerous on a dark winters evening.
