    How accurate is the issue date? Like will I get it on that date or after or is it just an estimate?

    Sorry if this has been asked before but what exactly does the issue date mean?

    Does it mean when it's being printed, when it's being sent, when you'll receive it etc?

    Also, I know it's just am estimate but is it usually accurate?

    Thanks

    Seriously, it's an estimate. Of when it will be issued.

    Do you need to show your birth certificate to renew a passport that expired last may?

    No if it's an adult. Yes if it's a child.

    It's 15 working days at the moment so going by that you should have it next Mon Oct 13th , the issue date is only an estimate and that is based on a 10 working day turnaround , my application stayed at the registered stage and then went straight to passport printed , the tracker is updated 3 times a day at 7.45am , 1.45pm & 6.45pm , the status can change quite quickly , if I were you I'd check on Friday around 2pm and it should have moved status by then ;)

    Hello, Just a few quick questions.

    My mother has a British passport which has expired. It will cost £103(€130) for a renewal, but i think she wants an Irish passport which is cheaper (€89).

    How will she go about getting one? On dfa.ie, she falls under the category of "Born abroad of Irish parent". My questions are about the supporting documents.

    It says a birth cert is needed which she has, and also a marriage certificate which she doesn't have. But she has her divorce papers if that would be an ok substitute?

    Finally it says your Irish-born parent's birth cert. Does it need to be both parents? Because she only has her Mothers birth cert, and again it asks for a marriage certificate from her parents which i'm pretty she doesn't have either. If it's too much hassle i might convince her to pay the extra and go the British renewal.

    After checking gov.uk, the only supporting documents you need for a renewal is the old passport and 2 passport photos. Be much less hassle so going to go with that, thanks.

    it turns out the date is actually 04 DFO/ Oct 14 so it is useless, I had presumed this was Oct 2004- Oct 2014. The nice people at the pp office were willing to give me an appointment in 3 working days which was no good as I will be going on Monday and barring a death in the family that was thebest I could hope for.
    Luckily I am flying to Guernsey with Aer Lingus and the local carrier and can use my driving licence, so only issue was with coming home with RyanAir on Tuesday next. Work ended up shelling out an extra e230 so I could fly home with AerLingus- ah well, will know next time

    Hi guys,

    I received a call from the passport office this morning telling me that they won't be able to send me the passport to my work address and that they need to send it to my home address since I'm first time applicant. She also told me that all the documents were in order and that the passport will be sent today.
    However, when I checked the status online, it's still shows as registered as of now. Should I still expect to receive the passport tomorrow even if the online trackers shows that it's registered rather than sent? Does it happen often that the passport is sent while the online tracker is not updated?

    Thanks!

    Is there any way to travel without a passport. Of course, legal ways.

    But I might have a job abroad and I don't have a passport at the moment. They might not wait for the two weeks it takes to get the passport.

    Or is there any way to speed up the process?

    Irish citizens are entitled to enter Ireland, the UK, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands without a passport, but nowhere else.

    Just about to book flights using e-travel.ie . Flying to JFK from dublin never used them before . My brothers passport is out of date but want to book now because of cheap prices. Aer Lingus asks for your passport number but e-travel doesnt make it mandatory. Could i book my flights now and add my brothers passport info at a later date ?

    It's outside Europe so I doubt i'll be able.

    I wonder, whats that link above about? Do you mean same day service of the passport, or same day service of appointment?

    Hi,

    I'm going to India for work on the 2nd of November and needed to renew my passport as it was due to expire within 6 months so needed a new one for the Indian visa. Passport office received my application on the 30th of September and since then it has sat on the "registered" status in the online passport tracking system.

    10 working days are up today so I'm starting to get a bit worried as to when it's going to arrive as I also need to go through the Indian Visa application process (5 - 7 working days). In people's experience am I likely to get my Irish passport this week? Is there any point in contacting the Passport Office? I was on hold for 20 minutes earlier but had to go hang up as I had a meeting.
