In this section, you will find information on contacting Immigration and how we can support you.

• When do I need to contact the Department of justice?

  You always need to inform the Department of Justice if you change address.

  Depending of the type of residence permission you have, you may need to inform the Department of Justice of the following changes in your circumstances:

  ● If there is a breakdown in your relationship
  ● If your spouse / partner / child left the country permanently
  ● If you become unemployed / have reduced working hours / change employer

  For more information about this, you can check the Department of Justice’s website:

• How do I inform the Department of Justice of my change of circumstances?

  Change of address
  If you change your address you need to send an email to immigrationsupport@justice.ie with the subject line: ‘Change of details’. Include the following details in the email:

  ● Full name
  ● Registration number
  ● Nationality
  ● Date of birth
  ● New address

  For information about how to inform the Citizenship Section about your change of address see our section here

  Other change of circumstances
  When you contact immigration regarding an application or residence permission, it is important to include your application number and person ID number, which can be found in the right top corner of any letter that you have received from the Department of Justice. If you have never received any letters from the Department of Justice, you can give your Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card registration number and passport number instead.
