Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
138. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs when a passport will issue to a person (details supplied); the reason for the delay in processing this application given the fact that it is a renewal application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29279/23]
View answerWith regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, this is a paper application. Turnaround time for both renewal and first time paper applications is 8 weeks. This application is within the turnaround time and has not yet reached its issue-by date.
I strongly encourage the Deputy to advise his constituents of the substantial benefits of applying using Passport Online. It is by far the quickest way to apply for a passport.
