The passport application was submitted at the end of January through the ordinary post, rather than the recommended Passport Express Service operated by An Post. When examined the photographs supplied did not meet the Passport Service photo guidelines, which are based on internationally accepted standards. The Passport Service wrote to the applicant requesting new photographs, which have been received. I can confirm that the passport application was approved on 28 April and the passport has now issued to the applicant.
