376. Deputy Verona Murphy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if clarity will be provided to a person (details supplied) given the lengthy period of time which has passed since the initial passport was held; if a new passport application is required; if a passport renewal will suffice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn response to the move to Level 5 on the Government's National Framework for Living with COVID-19, the Passport Service is operating an emergency service at this time. Applicants can apply using Passport Online and processing will resume at Level 4.
In cases where an applicant's most recent passport has expired by more than five years, i.e. their last passport was issued more than 15 years ago, the new passport application will have the same documentary requirements as a first time application.
