Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 275 and 277 together.
With regard to the specific applications about which the Deputy has enquired, supporting documents were received for these applications on 15 March 2022. On 1 May 2022, prior to the applications' estimated issue by date, the Passport Service contacted the applicants' parent to advise of further documents required to progress the passport applications. The Passport Service issued further communication to the parent on 10 May requesting this documentation. Further to two Parliamentary Questions submitted by the Deputy on 13 June 2022, the Passport Service sent the same communication again to the applicants' parent, reminding them of the documents that remain outstanding on the applications. The Passport Service is unable to process these applications until the required supporting documents are received.
