Garda Clearance

It is a condition of proceeding with your application that you apply for garda clearance or produce a letter already obtained.  Under section 4 of the Data Protection Acts of 1988 and 2003 everyone is entitled to ask for a search of any personal data on the criminal record database referring to themselves.

It is very difficult for anyone outside of the Health Service Executive to apply for clearance, which is why you must apply for it yourself. When writing to obtain clearance, you must not state ‘Garda Clearance.’ Instead send a letter ‘applying for information on yourself  on the criminal records database for your own records under section 4 of the Data Proctection Acts of 1988 and 2003,  giving your name, address, any previous addresses, date of birth, and enclose a copy of your birth certificate, driver’s licence or passport for identification purposes.  There is a €6.35 fee cheque, postal order and bank draft should be made payable to "The Accountant Department of Justice" Cash should not be forwarded with your letter.

Your letter should be forwarded to the following address

Garda Central Vetting Unit, Garda HQ, Phoenix Park, Dublin 8
