I need to apply for a National Age Card. Can you tell me what documents I need to provide, how long it will take to get the card, and outline the full application process from start to finish?
Navigate directly to www.agecard.ie. Accept any cookie consent pop-ups. 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 the information from the FAQs to describe the complete application process, including both online and any necessary 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.
