PPS Number and Proof of Address

Sambo89

Good evening everyone

I am very sorry if i just posted in the wrong section.

I am going to start a new job in 2 weeks in Dublin, I arrived in the country a week ago and I am currently renting a room in a shared house.

My job is pressuring me into obtaining the PPS ASAP otherwise they say they won't be able to pay me at all (their words).

Problem is that my landlord can't provide me any household bill (water,gas,electricity) at his name at all, the only 2 ways at my disposal to prove my address for the application are:

-My GoMo monthly phone bill
- A wifi bill ( the only bill under my landlord's name)
- A Bank Statement
(The government website considers ''Financial Statement'' as proof of Address for PPS but in Ireland i do not know if a Bank Statement is considered a Financial Statement)

Would you know if any of those would be accepted as a proof of address ?

I have tried to email and call the Citizen Information Center for a few days now without any response and the HR department at my Job is not helpful at all.

In advance, thanks for any help or advice

Hi photo ID and proof of address are required however the department say upload whatever you have available, you also need to explain why you need a pps so perhaps a letter, email etc from your employer would help. You mentioned a gomo bill, I'm assuming this is a new account as you've just arrived? It will be at least a month before you get a bill.

You might also be aware that at present you can only apply for a pps number through a mywelfare account. You'll need a valid email address and mobile number to set one up.

Basically give as much info as you can get and apply. Re your employer, whilst they may not be able to fully process payroll for you without a pps number, I'm sure, once you get the pps number thay can pay you for hours worked, just keep a record of hours etc. Good Luck.
