Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
141. Deputy John Brady asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will provide an update on the status of a passport renewal for a person (details supplied) as the applicant's date of travel is imminent and the timeframe has exceeded the ten-day turnaround for online passport renewals; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18106/23]
View answerWith regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the turnaround time for this type of application is 15 working days, as it constitutes a complex online renewal. Turnaround time begins from the date supporting documents are received by the Passport Service. Supporting documents for this application were received on 7 April 2023. This application is within its turnaround time and has not yet reached its issue by date. The Passport Service has advised the applicant of the possibility of booking an Urgent Appointment for passport renewal.
