Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of the wider International Protection Office (IPO) modernisation programme, the Temporary Residence Card (TRC) format was changed to a pre-printed template where applicants details and image are populated.
Due to recent print quality issues, a small number of replacement requests (under 20) have been received. I am advised that the IPO is actively looking at solutions to remedy this matter.
In the interim, if any applicant encounters issues with the card, they can request a replacement by emailing trcrenewals@ipo.gov.ie.
