Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 March 2024
24. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if a passport application for a person (details supplied) will process on time for the travel date of 14 March; if a document used for their naturalisation application can be used; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11172/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraWith regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the Passport Service initially requested further supporting documents from the applicant on 23 January 2024. The application cannot proceed until the required supporting documents are submitted.
The Passport Service does not have access to documents submitted to the Department of Justice during the course of a naturalisation application.
I encourage the Deputy to advise constituents of the advantages of using the Passport Online service which is the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective way to apply for a passport.
