So lodgement to bank no longer allowed? But you can use the above ID to collect a payment?Getting paid
You can collect your Jobseeker’s Allowance payment weekly from your nearest Post Office.
You must bring valid photographic identification (photo ID) with you to collect your payment. The following is considered to be valid photographic identification:
Staff working in the Post Office may ask to see your photo ID before giving you your payment.
- Driving licence
- Passport
- GNIB card
- EU/EEA nationals may use a National Identity Card
To get your social welfare benefit paid to you abroad, you must contact the section in the Department of Social Protection (DSP) that pays your payment and give your bank account details so that they can transfer your payment directly into a bank account while you are abroad. Where payment is already made onto your bank account in the State, you can continue to have it paid as it is or change it to a financial institution outside the country.
