CoR for Northern Ireland?

Question

I have bought an Inter Rail pass to use in mainland Europe in September.

When buying the pass, I selected United Kingdom as my country of residence as I am from and still live in Northern Ireland.

I just activated my pass and note that beside “Residence” it says “Great Britain”.

I am going to travel with my Irish passport.

Will this be an issue? Should I have selected Ireland?
If I have my driving licence would that be sufficient to prove UK residency if asked on the trains?
Is there a way to change the CoR on my pass from United Kingdom to Ireland if needed to avoid any hassle with this?

Thanks

Your CoR should be Ireland as Interrail treats the island of Ireland as one entity including the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. If you plan to travel on more than 2 travel days in GB you must get your CoR changed as with the CoR GB you can use a maximum of 2 travel days there.

Contact Interrail Customer Support if you need help with the CoR.

It will only be an issue if you plan on travelling in Britain as you will only have 2 days to use there.

Eurail’s incorrect classing Ireland as one country must cause these issues for many people from NI.

If asked by rail staff to show ID you will need to show the ID you register with the pass.
