The Passport Service has issued over 300,000 passports to date this year. The majority of online adult renewal applications issue within two working days and over 90% of applicants now apply online. The Passport Online service offers Irish citizens the ability to apply online for their passport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a user-friendly, efficient service that consistently offers processing times up to 4 times faster than paper-based passport renewal applications. Passport Online is now available to 99.9% of all applicants across the world. I would ask the Deputy to encourage her constituents to apply online for the quickest, cheapest and most efficient service.
With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, supporting documents for this application were received on 11th March 2024. This application is within the standard turnaround time and has not yet reached its issue by date.
