The PPSN is issued when the birth is registered.

You need to walk into the local SW office with your child’s birth certificate and photo ID for yourself (passport or drivers licence) and proof of your address (utility bill, bank statement, official letter addressed to you) and ask for your child’s PPSN.

Just to clarify .. he was registered at the appointment at the office we got the birth cert.. but my husband says he didn't follow up anymore. Is there any forms I need to fill in case that is the case.

You need to do what I advised.
If your child was born in an Irish hospital then he was given a PPSN. It came in the post. Child Benefit sent a form when he was around 6-8 weeks to your home address for you to sign and return.
Sort it out tomorrow in the local SW office.

taylor999

From my conversation with my husband he said he thought this was enough but I'm sure from reading we should have registered officially with gro. Is there a form I should fill.. although I read elsewhere that to child allowance I should have pps number to apply for that? I'm freaking out that my child is not registered at all !!😓😓

The pps number should have automatically came in the post a week or so after registering the birth

There’s no point in freaking out at 9.15 at night. Your local office will be open in the morning.

Is your baby sick ?

Is your baby sick ?

He has been unwell lately and I was told to get the under 6 gp card ,I thought my husband had registered him with our doc but found out he was not.
I'm just angry with myself for not following up on this but my health had been troublesome so much I didn't even think . I was sure my husband had looked after all of this. He said he did.

taylor999

My husband is now telling me that when we got his birth cert at the register for births .. he was told to ring another place to register before the 3 months went over. He said he didn't do that. He forgot. I don't think my child is registered properly

Your baby is 2 and since he was born hes been living in Ireland with you but he’s never needed the doctor never needed a prescription and he’s not had his vaccinations and you haven’t had any child benefit.

He has got his vaccinations up to date so far I've his book. He was unwell when younger in hospital. I never got asked for pps number.

How did your husband get the children’s allowance? Children’s allowance is paid to the mother of the child in Ireland unless the mother is dead.
If any children’s allowance was applied for you would have had to sign the form .

He never told me about child benefit , he says he kept meaning to apply but with a lot of problems in our lives over the few years he kept leaving it to last as he felt overwhelmed. I was sure he was saving it for him

He couldn’t have applied for child benefit unless you were dead or very seriously ill in hospital and medically certified as unable to apply.

My health is a different matter. As I said I'm confused as of what to do now. There is nothing weird here. I don't want to have to explain my health issues. This is just my problem now which I need to fix.

Ok. Goodnight. Thanks. all the same.

Your child benefit will be back dated if you never received it. Apply to Welfare and get the child’s PPS sorted. It’s not difficult.

I think you've confused people with some of your posts. I’m I correct in saying:
You have a birth certificate for your son? If so, he’s registered.

You aren’t claiming child benefit (though you were but your husband didn’t sort it)? This is an extra step to register with social welfare after registering the birth.

No GP card. As above, this needs to be applied for separately to the above.

Best thing to do is to take a deep breath, go to sleep and go into the social welfare office tomorrow to discuss with them.

I probably am confusing. I'm just in a tizzy and over tired.
Yes i have a birth cert.
I did think my husband was saving it from my account he had access to it with my agreement.
I claim for my older son and my husband puts that money in his account.
All I want to know is if he is registered.. and we have the birth cert .. so all I want to know is if I can get his pps number easily. I can sort the rest. Thank you
