Solution: Ask them for a letterThe homeowner or tenant writes a short letter confirming you live at their address — signed, dated, and with their name and address. This is widely accepted. Bring a copy of their ID or a utility bill in their name along with it if possible.

Solution: Get a letter from the accommodation managerThe accommodation manager or centre administrator can provide an official letter confirming you are a resident there. This is standard and fully accepted by Intreo.

Solution: Ask the hostel for a letter or get a bank statementA hostel can provide a letter confirming you're staying there. If you've opened a bank account, even online banks like N26 or Revolut, a statement showing your address is accepted.

Solution: Use it directlyAny letter from Revenue, the DSP, the HSE, or an Irish government body addressed to you at your Irish address is accepted as proof of address — even if it's about something else entirely.

Solution: A letter from your host familyA letter from the host family confirming your name and their address is accepted for Ukrainians under Temporary Protection.
