PPSN Registration Centre

I had heard horror stories from my non-​Irish friends about the time-​consuming process of getting a PPS number (Personal Public Service Number) in Dublin. «You need to be there at 8 and queue for more than an hour» on friend told me. «Bring a book. It will take at least an hour more when you finally get inside» another friend said and added that I would probably have to wait two weeks for my number to finally arrive. Prepared for the worst, as when I finally arrived it was lunch-​time, I was pleasantly surprised to find no queue at all and only one couple waiting before me! I don’t know whether it’s recession that explains the decreasing number of people applying for PPS numbers in Dublin today, but the whole process took me about 10 minutes and three workdays later, my letter arrived in the mail. That has to be said a very good service and for that the PPS centre deserves 4 stars!
