Guide to posting your documents

  • Keep photocopies of ALL documents that you are posting. Put your name and CAO number on every document you send.
  • Get proof of postage each time you are posting documentation.
  • You can get a certificate of postage from An Post. For your convenience, there are four certificates of postage slips pre-printed on the back cover of the CAO Handbook. Just ask the teller in An Post to stamp one of the certificates when you are sending your documentation.
  • For confirmation that the documents you posted arrived safely in CAO, enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard with your documentation.
  • Submit all supporting documents to the CAO, Tower House, Eglinton Street, Galway before 15 March 2023.
