Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 April 2016
381. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to outline the issue of the granting of a passport to a new-born child or the inclusion of the child on their mother's passport in the case of a person (details supplied). [7517/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhen the child is born a passport application should be submitted by the parents to the Embassy of Ireland in Bangkok. Children cannot be included on the passports of parents.
While issuing of a passport within days cannot be guaranteed, every effort will be made to ensure that the passport is issued within three weeks, providing all relevant documentation is submitted and in order. The applicant should keep in close touch with the Embassy throughout the process.
