    Sorry wasn't sure where to put this...
    Can anyone tell me where to find my pps number on the dps card?

    I've got two numbers which could be it one in bold large writing and another smaller one beneath it...

    You could check your social security card / a payslip?
    I don't have my card at hand but its a 7digit number with a letter at the end usually.

    Oh... lol.. hang on I'll check mine
    .. ok I can't find mine!
    Looking at my brother n sisters - the large number in the middle is the DPS and in the smaller font along the bottom it says PPSN and then the number.

    So I would assume the smaller fonted number would be your PPSN

    Yeah these are the DPS cards my mother has for my brother and sister, they'd be under her care. So I would also assume if its a DPS card, the most prominant number would be the DPS one.

    I know it's probably a bit late but in case you're still wondering just thought I'd reply!

    The letter on your DPS number is assigned based on your position within the family (if your family have applied together). As in one member of the couple will be given the letter A, their spouse given the letter B and any children/dependants given letters from C onward.

    As far as I know, your PPS number can have any letter at the end of it. So if one ends in one of the first few letters of the alphabet, I'd say the other is your pps number!
