Introduction
Registration is how we record you have been given permission to stay in Ireland. You may have been told to register your permission by an immigration officer at the airport or in a communication from Immigration Service Delivery (ISD).
How do I register?
Some applicants have to pay a registration fee of €300, and that depends on the type of permission you have been given. You will be advised of the fee at the time of registration and will be required to pay by credit or debit card at your registration appointment.
In Dublin, Kildare, Meath or Wicklow the registration office is at 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.
You must make an appointment to attend the public Registration Office in Burgh Quay, Dublin. You do not have to pay a fee to book an appointment. The Registration Fee is paid only when you attend the Registration Office.
Once you book an appointment, we will send you an email telling you what documents to bring with you. A full list of required documentation to register your immigration permission for the first time is also available.
