I am a First time Irish Passport applicant, born in England of parents born in Ireland.
Dublin Passport Office:
Received application 12/01/2022
Began processing 14/03/2022
Estimated issue date 29/04/2022
Today’s date 04/06/2022
Still processing.

Should I worry?
Now, 5 weeks overdue. There is never a Customer Services agent available when I ring and on the three occasions out of a hundred plus attempts when I have got through to Webchat I get an error message and can get no further. Yet the telephone recorded message encourages overdue applicants to get in touch exclusively through these means.
I’m ok with a delay but I’m frustrated by zero communication channels.
Any advice on what I can do would be appreciated.
