Q. What are the changes to the National Age Card Scheme?
13.03.11
You must now apply online for your card (paper application forms
are no longer available in Garda stations). An Age Card is a card
that people over 18 can use to show that they are legally old enough
to buy alcohol. It is not an identity card and cannot be used for
any other purpose other than proof of age.
To apply for a card you must go to
www.agecard.ie , fill out the
application form and make the payment of €10 (by credit card or age
card voucher – available from post offices). You will be sent an
application form within three working days.
You must then go to your local Garda Station to have your
application and identity authenticated. You should bring the
application form and the following documents:
- Your birth certificate
- One other form of ID (a GNIB (Garda National Immigration Bureau)
Card, passport or driving licence)
- One recent passport photograph
The Garda Station will forward your application form and photograph
to the Age Card section and you will receive your Age Card within 10
working days.
