Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

The SAFE registration process, which my Department uses to authenticate a person's identity, is a face- to-face process which results in the issuing of a Public Services Card (PSC).
I can confirm that an individual’s adoption certificate is not required for the purpose of a SAFE registration appointment.
The individual referred to by the Deputy has been contacted by officials of my Department and she attended for a SAFE registration appointment on 26th April 2023.
A PSC will be issued to her shortly.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
