You will need to complete Form RF120, get it witnessed and stamped by a member of An Garda Siochána, and then send it to that office.
You should contact them in advance to find out if any other supporting documentation is needed.
A minimum of 3 unexpired whole calendar months must be left on the disc when it is surrendered to the motor tax office.
Form RF120 is available at your local motor tax office.
