This is correct.The Dept of Social Protection records office is based in Buncrana in Co. Donegal. Contact them, explain your position and they may send you your PRSI record.
Hello. I finished a job in May 2017. I decided to do a bit of world travelling with 1 big rucksack. I am 56 now. I will return to Ireland Summer 2019. A friend told me that it might be a good idea to make a voluntary person contribution when I am away to the State pension. I called the citizen's advice number and they were very helpful. They advised me to check my contributions so I can make a measured decision if I need to or not make a payment.
They directed me to mygovid website The site looks good but the issue for me is they said I need a public service card. I don't have one of these and cannot get one until I return to Ireland.
My question is does anyone know a way I can access my state pension contributions without this. card? Can they post to my house in Ireland and someone can pass one?
Thanks.
Pat
if you ring the dept in Sligo, they may give you an answer over the phone but then again they may not.
You could send in a written application for your insurance record and they will post it to your address..
Yes, anyone can give up working and make voluntary contributions towards their ultimate state pension. It needs to be started within 5 years of last making a paid contribution (so the OP still has time - but you have to pay backdated to last contribution).Can anyone just give up working and make voluntary contributions for the pension later on? Seems too simplistic a solution for anyone and expensive for the state and taxpayers.
