    Local Tax office should do the trick. Make sure you have all your relevant documentation and photograph's etc. with you.

    Your local would probably be Ballymun.
    It's the Civic Centre on the Main Street.

    Well done on passing by the way!
    Others are in town, Rathfarnham, and Clondalkin.

    You can bring in all the relevant documets into the TAX office in town but you still have to have it the license posted out to you ( that is what I did ). It saves a few days waiting for the TAX office to recieve it.

    If you're worried about driving without a full (pink) license, just take a copy of your certificate and carry that around with you until your license arrives. Although you're still technically not a full license holder until you recieve your full license.. I have never heard of any case where the gardai didn't accept a certificate as proof. Oh, you will also recieve a reciept in the tax office just carry this as proof.

    Didn't know we gave licences to 12 year olds :rolleyes:

    Credit card style licences across Europe are also pink, as it happens. Its the EU standard colour for full licences, and our licences are based on an older EU standard.
