Transfer of First-Time Immigration Registration to ISD

As of 13 January 2025, the responsibility for first-time immigration residence permission registrations across all counties in Ireland has been transferred from the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) to Immigration Service Delivery (ISD), under the Department of Justice.

Where to register

All first-time registrations must now be completed in person at the registration office located at 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2. To book an appointment, applicants must create or log into their account on the Digital Contact Centre (https://portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/). Each appointment is linked to the applicant’s unique profile.

Required Documents

Applicants must bring:

  • A valid passport or equivalent document.
  • A completed address form received with the appointment confirmation email.
  • Printed copies of all required supporting documents.
  • A €300 registration fee (if applicable), payable by credit or debit card. Contactless and cash payments are not accepted.

Transition period for Garda stations

For appointments already scheduled at Garda stations outside Dublin, Cork, Kildare, Limerick, Meath, and Wicklow up to 31 January 2025, the Garda will complete these registrations. If applicants prefer to switch to ISD, they can notify the relevant Garda station and book a new appointment with ISD.

Renewals

Renewals continue to be processed online through the ISD portal, eliminating the need for in-person attendance. Applications for renewals are accepted up to 12 weeks before the current permission expires.
