Welcome
Welcome to the registration system for the GP Visit Card Under 8s scheme. In order to register your child or children you will need the following information:
  • The PPS number of the child or children you wish to register. What's a PPS Number?
  • If you do not have a PPS number and your baby is under four months of age, you can register by leaving the PPS number blank. If you leave the PPS number blank, the HSE will write to you separately to acquire the PPS number.
  • The PPS number of the child's parent or guardian.
  • Your email address.
Check if your GP has signed up
Your GP of choice may not be listed if they have not signed the Agreement to Provide Service to children under 8, or if they are not accepting any further registrations. You can pick another GP. Your GP’s application to join the Under 8s scheme, may be being processed. The list of participating GPs is updated daily.
