PPS Application Changed?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I went down to the local social welfare number armed with my letting agreement and various other proofs to get my pps number. To my surprise the clerk told me that the system has changed and pps numbers are no longer issued unless there is a job offer. A letter from an employer was required. Despite not being able to assist she also wanted to have a look at my marriage certificate, is that really necessary?

I'm a bit confused by this because I've haven't seen this requirement online. The whole interview left me a bit on edge to be honest.

I would be grateful if someone could clarify the situation for me.

Thanks.
