Before you go on your Summer holidays, please ensure your passport is valid and in date.
Renewal:
The quickest way to renew your passport is online. To apply using Passport Online you will need:
- a digital photo that meets the photo guidelines
- credit or debit card
- an email address
- your passport
Turnaround time starts from the date supporting documents are received by the Passport Service.
First Time Applicants:
First time applications are the most complex as all documents need to be verified. You should not book any travel until you have received a passport as these applications cannot be expedited.
You need to submit extra documentation and for children, the consent of all guardians has to be verified.
Urgent Renewal:
Applicants who need to renew their passports urgently can book an Urgent Appointment at the Passport Offices in Dublin or Cork. The Dublin office offers a one-day or four-day turnaround. Make an appointment HERE.#
