    Yes, you can use it but first you need to clear it with your new Local Health Office

    Moving to another area

    If you move to a new Health Service Executive (HSE) Administrative Area, you must re-apply for a new medical card with a new doctor's acceptance form. The existing medical card remains valid for three months. To use your medical card during those three months, you should make arrangements with the Local Health Office in the new area.
    How to apply

    Apply to your Local Health Office for a medical card. They will give you a list of doctors who are part of the GMS scheme.
