UNDERSTANDING PPSN
What Is a PPSN?
A Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) is a unique reference number issued by the Department of Social Protection (DSP). It’s used when dealing with Revenue and other public bodies in Ireland. A PPSN is commonly required if you’re starting employment, registering for tax, accessing certain public services, or setting up a business in Ireland.
While the Department of Social Protection issues PPSNs, we help ensure your application is prepared correctly, with the right supporting documents and guidance throughout the process.
