Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2020
393. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if an update of travel documents due to expire on the 9 August 2020 can be facilitated in the case of a person (documents supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4888/20]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that Travel Documents cannot be renewed. Where a person needs a new Travel Document, they should submit their expired document as soon as possible to the Travel Document Section with a fresh Travel Document application in order to ensure that they are in the possession of an in date travel document to facilitate travel.
Information on how to apply for a Travel Document as well as the relevant application forms can be found at: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/application_for_a_travel_document
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
