What this means for you: the queue at your local centre probably looks scary. But cancellations happen every day — the busier the centre, the more there are. Wait.ie watches them around the clock.

Questions & Answers

How does Wait.ie work?
Wait.ie monitors appointment availability around the clock. Public services can be watched directly; account-gated services use your own authorised account or vehicle details. When a matching slot appears, we email you so you can book through the official site.
Why do some services need a connection?
Driving test, IRP/GNIB, and NCT calendars can depend on your own official account, eligibility, vehicle, or booking details. We only ask for those details after payment, store them encrypted, and use them for the monitoring you request.
Is this a monthly subscription?
No. You pay once. We monitor the system until you get a booking, or for 60 days — whichever comes first. No monthly fees. No hidden charges.
What if you do not find me an appointment?
Passport and Theory Test purchases include a slot-alert guarantee: if we send no matching alert during 60 days, we refund the full purchase price. Driving Test, NCT and IRP/GNIB monitoring do not include a successful-slot or money-back guarantee.
Do you bypass official booking systems?
No. Wait.ie does not bypass, exploit, or override official booking systems. Alerts point you back to the official service, and connected monitoring is based on details you provide for your own account or vehicle.
My IRP expires soon. Will this help?
It can help you stop checking manually all day. We monitor for matching appointment availability and alert you quickly, but appointment availability still depends on the official IRP system.
I am Brazilian / Indian / non-Irish. Can I use this?
Yes. Wait.ie is for everyone in Ireland who needs a government appointment. Most of our users are non-EU nationals needing IRP/GNIB appointments. The website and all emails are in English.
