    Not sure if im asking about this in the right area or not but I was just wondering if anyone would know how to or is it even possible to obtain a brand new PPSN even though im a full Irish citizen living in ireland all my life and currently have a pps number anyways There are valid and sufficient personal serious reasons for this enquiry
    im being terrorised with my life being potientally put in danger after handing over information.. an garda siochana are notified and are trying their best to help me along the way
    emigration is an option but i really dont want to leave my family friends and my job
    Ive been in contact with the social welfare keep on ringing them and when i do eventually get through and explain the serious situation that im in they dont seem to take it seriously or probably think that im taking the piss or whatever
    i need advice on what to do i dont know where else to turn

    I'm not even sure this is possible, or how changing your PPS would help. But I would speak to Welfare in person. Take any supporting documentation with you like reports from the Gards.

    Get in touch with the local TD too. Again, explain your position in person.

    Taken from the DSP FAQ:
    Q15. Is it possible for me to get a new number?

    A15. No, generally once a PPS number is allocated it remains unchanged unless there is a material change in your circumstances or status. Historically, on marriage, the female partner in a relationship assumed her husband’s number with the letter “W” appended. The policy has since changed to ensure that every individual holds a unique PPS number. Where the female partner had a PPS number in her own right prior to marriage this number will be reactivated. If a pre-marriage number did not exist a new number will, be assigned. Any holders of a PPS number ending with the letter “W” may contact Client Identity Services Division of this Department to arrange a new PPS number.

    You can contact Client Identity Services at

    Department of Social Protection,
    Social Welfare Services,
    Shannon Lodge,
    Carrick-on-Shannon,
    County Leitrim

    Telephone: Lo Call 1890 927999

    All we can do is recommend you contact the DSP with your specific circumstances and get legal advice regarding both that and your personal circumstances.

    All the best OP.
