Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 May 2023
116. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if passports will issue on time for children (details supplied) in County Donegal travelling abroad to a family wedding; if photographs submitted meet the guidelines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22233/23]
View answerWith regard to the specific applications about which the Deputy has enquired, new photographs for these applications were received on 2 May 2023. The turnaround time from receipt of a new photograph by the Passport Service is 10 working days. These applications are within the current turnaround times and have not yet reached their issue by date.
The Passport Service has a helpful video guide on my Department's website to assist applicants with submitting their photograph Photo Guidelines - Department of Foreign Affairs (dfa.ie).
