Acceptable ID Documents

Do I need to submit ID with my vetting form?

Yes, we are required to verify your identity. You will need to get two forms of ID (proof of ID and proof of address) validated in person at the Student Desk.

To validate your documents, please bring the original document and a photocopy to the Student Desk. The photocopy will be stamped and signed as an accurate copy of the original. 

You should then upload a photo /scan of the validated copies to your Garda vetting application form. 

What proof of ID and address documents are acceptable?

You must provide us with the following forms of ID :

 

Photo ID and Date of Birth, any of the following:

  • Passport 
  • Driving Licence
  • A certificate of naturalisation 
  • A national identity card (please note this is only relevant to EU/EEA/Swiss citizens).
 

You must also provide a proof of address document which must be dated within the last 6 months and shows your name and current address. Acceptable documents are :

  • A bank statement (excluding Revolut).

  • Utility bills (please note mobile phone bills are not accepted)
