Waiting

Yesterday I registered for a personal number here. A personal number is like a PRSI number. Here, you need a personal number unlike at home where it is only needed for when you have to pay tax. To set up a bank account I need a personal number and just a personal number, no bill as proof of address or ID, just a personal number. To get a phone I need a personal number. To get broadband I need a personal number. To register for a Swedish course, personal number. I have to transfer my dole across, and have to register with a place that's like FAS and I need a personal number for that.
I have to wait one to two weeks for my personal number.
