I worked in Ireland f/t for 13 years and have a PRSI No. and wanted to know how I go about finding out if I am entitled to an Irish state pension. On the Irish gov sites it asks that I come in in person to verify identity before they will send me a statement of PRSI payments. But as I no longer live there this is impossible, is there another way to do this?
Does anyone know of a service in the UK that can support me with this?
 
This thread from 2018 may help. You can write to the Department of Social Protection and request a copy of your record. The address is in the thread

The requirements for an Irish State pension can be found here

State Pension (Contributory)

The State Pension (Contributory), previously called the Old Age (Contributory) Pension, is payable to people aged 66 and over who have worked and paid enough social insurance contributions.

I drafted the following for one of my brother's who has lived/worked in the US for the last 30 years some years back. He received a response requesting some additional details and subsequently received his contributions record. It showed that he had sufficient contributions to entitle him to a partial SPC which he had never expected. I'm still awaiting my commission................
