Question:

620. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if the passport for a person (details supplied) can be progressed given that the parent applying on behalf of the child is the sole guardian and the further documentation that has been requested by the Passport Office specifically relating to the other parent upon which the child’s citizenship claim is based cannot be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs

With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the Passport Service cannot process an application until the required supporting documents have been received. The Passport Service has provided an update to the applicant's guardian as to the steps they must take to progress the passport application.
