4th December 2020 The Department of Justice continues to examine ways to improve the delivery of services to our customers. I would like to update you on one such improvement being implemented by the Immigration Service of the Department with effect from December 2nd 2020, which may be relevant to the work of your organisation. From this date, our customers renewing the registration of their immigration permission will no longer need to submit their passport to have the immigration stamp added by their Registration Office. This applies to renewals for Dublin-based customers, which are made through an online renewal process facilitated by the Burgh Quay office and renewals for customers living outside Dublin, which are made in-person in local Registration Offices at Garda Stations nationwide. Customers will no longer have to leave their passport with a registration office while their application is being processed. It is expected that this will significantly improve the time taken to renew immigration permissions and will also allow the person to use their passport for other purposes while their application is being processed. Successful applicants will be issued with an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card which will prove that they are legally registered in Ireland and identify the immigration permission that they hold. If legal residence and proof of an up-to-date immigration permission is a requirement for access to any state services, the production of this valid IRP card will satisfy this requirement. If proof of a person’s reckonable residency in the State is required, queries should be addressed to the Garda National Immigration Bureau, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2. I would be grateful if you could please communicate this important change within your organisation and to any relevant affiliates, especially where this information may be important for their area of work or service provision. Our website www.inis.gov.ie contains more information, along with a Frequently Asked Questions document on these changes, with relevant information for both individuals and organisations. If you have any further questions, please contact us at burghquayregoffice@justice.ie. Yours sincerely, Emer Mullins Head of Registration Office
