You should have renewed with the app no need for Garda to sign your photos.

The pictures you sent in aren't put on your passport. They are used to generate the image that appears on your passport.

To be helpful, if the picture is genuinely not clear enough, get back onto them. Last thing you want is to be stuck in some country because they won't accept the passport.

That's what they like you to think.

In reality they scrape your DNA off and add it to the database which they then sell to Facebook.

I completed my application form 2 weeks ago, got the passport photos done, witnessed by a Garda and everything.

I still haven't gone to the post office to send it

If you go to one the photo booths that are setup for it it is even easier. the booth takes the photos and gives you a receipt with a code. you enter the code during the online application and the photos appear onscreen. I suspect witchcraft is involved somewhere.
