Irish life certificates

When a client is receiving an Irish benefit or pension in New Zealand they are required to complete life certificates by the Irish authorities.

The Irish authorities will send the life certificate form directly to the client when it is due.

The client should complete the life certificate and return it directly to the Republic of Ireland.

If a client needs the life certificate witnessed it is important to check that:

• the life certificate is fully completed, signed and dated
• the client's address has been verified and
• the certificate has been stamped with the office date stamp in the presence of the client

The life certificate is returned to the client to send directly to the Irish authorities.
