I want to apply for a National Age Card. What are the specific documents required for the application, what is the approximate processing time, and what are the exact steps involved in applying, including both online and any necessary in-person actions?
Navigate to the 'National Age Card' section on garda.ie. Identify the link to the official online application portal (agecard.ie). Navigate to www.agecard.ie. Accept any cookie consent pop-ups to ensure full access to the site. Locate and click on the 'FAQs' section. Identify the specific documentation required for the Age Card application. Find the approximate processing time for the Age Card. Synthesize information from both garda.ie and agecard.ie to describe the complete application process, including online and in-person steps.
State the specific documentation required: Birth Certificate OR Irish Residence Permit Card OR valid Passport (in date), PLUS one other form of ID, and one recent passport photograph. State the approximate processing time: within 10 working days. Clearly describe the application process as a hybrid: starting online at www.agecard.ie (filling details, payment) and concluding with an in-person submission of the application form to a local Garda Station.
