The length of time it takes to process an adult renewal passport application will depend on the channel through which the application is made.
The award winning online passport application service is currently processing applications in 10 working days, plus postage time. It is the fastest and most convenient way for an adult to renew a passport.
An adult renewal application submitted through Passport Express is currently processed in the 15 working day, target timeframe.
I would urge adult applicants wishing to renew their passports, whether residing in Ireland or overseas, to avail of the online passport application service where possible.
Information on the target turnaround time for all categories of applications is updated weekly on the Passport Service website www.dfa.ie/passport.
