First-time Registration of Irish Immigration Residence Permission.

From January 13, 2025, the first time in person registration of residence permissions for applicants residing in all counties will be done at the Registration Office, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.

  • To book an appointment to register first time immigration residence permission, applicants should create an account, or log into their existing account, on the Digital Contact Centre.
  • For the appointment at the Registration Office in Burgh Quay, applicants must bring their passport (or other equivalent document, issued by or on behalf of an authority recognized by the Government [of Ireland]), a printed and completed copy of the address form attached to their appointment confirmation email (this is the address the Irish residence permission (IRP card) will be sent to), printed copies of the required supporting documentation relevant to their permission.
  • Electronic copies of documents are not accepted. Applicants must have all required documents and payment at the time of the appointment or ISD will be unable to complete the registration and issue an Irish Residence Permit card.
  • The registration fee is €300 (per adult person) if applicable, which can be paid by credit or debit card only.
Remaining First Time Registration Appointments at a Garda Station

Applicants for first-time registration, resident outside of counties Cork, Dublin, Kildare, Limerick, Meath and Wicklow, who have a confirmed appointment up to January 31, 2025, should attend the relevant Garda registration office as scheduled. An Garda Síochána will continue to process confirmed appointments for first-time registrations until the end of January 2025. Applicants with such appointments may wish to check with the relevant Garda Station in order to confirm arrangements.

  • Alternatively, applicants with such confirmed appointments may wish to notify the Garda Station to remove their application, and then book an appointment with the Registration Office in Dublin by creating an account on the Digital Contact Centre.
  • Applicants who do not hold a confirmed appointment at a Garda registration office prior to January 31, 2025, should create an account on the Digital Contact Centre and book an appointment with the Registration Office at Burgh Quay in Dublin.
  • First time registration appointments are available for individual applicants or family groups only. Appointments are available at Burgh Quay within the 90 day legally required timeframe.
Renewal of Irish Immigration Residence Permission

All nationwide online renewals of permissions are processed using the Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) online renewal portal. Applicants will not need to attend the Burgh Quay Registration Office in person to renew permission. Please note that all applications for renewal are accepted up to 12 weeks prior to expiry to allow sufficient time for processing.

The Immigration Service website provides a live processing update for online renewal applications being processed. To ensure an equitable immigration system, applications are processed in the order in which they are received.
