Identity Validation Question

Andre 3000

Hi I am currently trying to gather all my documents to apply for my first learner permit.

I do not have any of the photographic forms of ID accepted by the NDLS so I see that it says:

Where a holder of an Irish or UK birth/adoption certificate issued by the General Registers Office in Ireland or the UK cannot provide the photographic ID documents listed, they must submit their original long form birth/adoption certificate/certificate of entry into the Irish Foreign Births Register and complete the Certificate of Identity Form in accordance with the requirements of the Guidance Notes.

What exactly does it mean by

they must submit their original long form birth/adoption certificate/certificate of entry into the Irish Foreign Births Register

?

Now I am an Irish citizen, born and raised...I am not "foreign". Do I need to send off my long birth cert to the Irish Foreign Births Register or is it a case of just filling out that form mentioned and bringing it along to my appointment with my long Birth Cert. to fulfill the requirement?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

Bring your Cert of ID filled out correctly with a passport photo attached supported by your long birth cert. That's what you need if you don't have any photo ID such as a passport or a Public Service card (the one with your image on it). All of the other stuff relates to people who were adopted or Irish citizens born elsewhere so ignore all that stuff as you're in the most straight forward category.

Make sure that the Guard or whoever you choose to sign the cert of ID gor you writes your name twice in the relevant places at the bottom of that form. It says something like; I personally know Andre 3000 and the likeness above is of Andre 3000. It's a common omission to skip one of the line that will create problems.

Great. Thank you so much for the detailed reply!

You can also get a PPS card with a photo on it with just a birth cert from most DSP offices.
