New Procedures on Garda Vetting Requirements (30 June 2016) Since April 2016 the Garda Vetting Application forms and procedures have changed. The process begins with the volunteer presenting in person to the Parish Priest with 2 pieces of identification and a completed application form NVB1. You are asked to produce ID in accordance with the 100 Point System (see Proof of Identity Docs link below). At least one of these ID's should be photographic. If you are not meeting with the priest in the office you will need to bring 2 copies of each ID for the priest to take away. He will need one copy on file in the office and one copy to send to the Diocese.Once the Diocesan office receives your application and ID docs you will be then contacted by email to complete the actual Garda Vetting Form online. The online form must be done within 30 days of receipt of your email, otherwise the process will have to begin again. Before filling in the required forms please read carefully the detailed Garda Vetting Information and familiarise yourself with the Parish Volunteer Recruitment Rules.
