Irish citizenship application - passport return

pepperherbert

Hello, anyone here knows what’s the current turnaround time of passport when you submit for Irish citizenship application? I’m planning to submit my documents next week but just wondering how long will I get my passport back with Covid restrictions. I’m getting married in September and would need the passport to apply for a marriage license. Do you think my passport will be returned in the next 3 months or so? Thanks!

From the dfa website - it details that the Passport Service has paused its operations in line with the move to Level 5 of the Government's National Framework on Living with COVID-19 from 24 December and that they expect to resume operations when the country moves to Level 4.

So the question is when will the country move to level 4?

I'd say that within 3 months would be a fairly good guess.

The latest update is to not submit anything at the moment.

Keep an eye on there for further announcements on reopening of citizenship application services.
