The latter.Could you enter their UK National Insurance numbers and make a note to this effect on the form? Or is it an online form that validates the PPSNN and rejects anything that fails the check?
My guess is that there are easily thousands of these cases a year and it must be very common.The OP should contact Revenue via MyEnquiries and ask for a solution. This is a relatively commonplace issue which they'll undoubtedly be able to address easily.
Bit difficult for them to sign when they're deceased?They apply for a PPS number, there's a form to fill in and sign, takes a few weeks.
Personal Public Service Number (PPSN)
This page provides a brief explanation of a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN)www.revenue.ie
I assumed from the first post that the OP was Irish residentOverseas beneficiaries can apply for PPS numbers - I understood that was the query.
It's just so that they can link specific individuals on databases and avoid duplication.Seems a bit odd to apply for a PPS number for persons deceased though?
Where a PPS number is required for a deceased person or a person who is resident abroad, solicitors or executors should
contact Client Identity Services in the Department of Social and Family Affairs directly by fax at ( 01) 7043237 or telephone
(01) 7043281. Identity information will be required before numbers can be issued
