    I've seen a few people with this same problem on Twitter, passport office hasn't said why this happens. So I presume it's an error in their system, although I don't know because they haven't said anything

    Hi all, just wanted to give a good news story on a first time application. Applied online on Jan 3rd. Sent docs on Jan 10th and they were received and being verified on Jan 17th. On Feb 17th the status changed to processing and today it says it has been dispatched!! Our estimated date was March 22nd. We are traveling before then and we were in a panic about it coming as like so many others didn’t realize the delay. We did contact our local td who got in touch with the passport office on our behalf - sent in a form to a contact they all have from what I can make out. I also rang the customer service hub (took 97 attempts to get through) but they couldn’t do anything. So hopefully the extra staff they said they are hiring are in place and things are speeding up.

    New PSC arrived today, so will be sending that off with the new Garda witness form, hope this new Garda actually logged it in the log book this time!

    I have a question though does anyone know for photo copy of PSC does the copy of front and back need to be on the same page? Or do I copy each side to a separate page?

    Got a hold of the passport office, each side has to be photo copied on to separate pages, so front on one page, back on another. Incase anyone also has to photocopy their public service card.

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the online passport application cover page. I'm renewing my daughter's and son's passports, and I wanted to know if I should add my son's application number in the box located in my daughter's application cover page and vice versa? Are they using this box to ensure that all applications from the same family are processed at the same time?

    You should add the numbers of all the other applications, although I’ve heard that unless the checker sees this, their system can’t link the applications to each other so one of the applications could progress and the other could be a few days later depending on the types of applications

    Sent documents to passport office, using the label they provide, and it still says 'your post was accepted in' no further movement, seems an post lost it? Because it's express post it should be there already.

    Anyone else have no movement on their documents in an post system once they sent them?

    I mean in the an post network, using their prepaid label how long did delivery take from when you posted it to when an post said it delivered? Should be next day so I think an post lost it/never scanned it again

    Just received new (renewal) passport and passport card. I signed the passport book as required no problem but I can't seem to sign the passport card. I am using a regular ballpoint pen (which I use daily for normal use) but when I try to sign the passport card it's like trying to sign a shiney piece of plastic. No ink appears and even if it did it's like it would just easily wipe off? Has anyone else had this problem? Should I try and get an indelible felt pen?

    My son’s passport will expire 11 days after he turns 18. Should I renew his passport now or wait until he turns 18.

    This is the same son that I posted a few weeks back Re: wanting to remove his middle name on his new passport as currently it has his birth certificate names on it, he just wants to have his 1st Name & Surname on it, no problem having his birth cert name in observation but want to be able to change his PPSN to 1st name & surname - big thanks to all who advised re same.

    TIA

    It's up to him really, he can do it while 17 and it'll last 5 years and be slightly cheaper, or he can do it when he's 18 and it'll last 10 years, he won't have issue getting an adult passport since he's had a passport before this isn't the first Irish passport or anything.

    Edit: actually sorry, with the child passport you have to compelete a child identity and consent form so there's more hassle with renewing when he's 17, might be better to wait till 18, and send off birth cert so he can get observation of full name, and then just drop the middle name from the 'name to appear on passport' section of the online application.

    this is our second first-time passport application because previous one was too long on their system. Till now I even didn't received refund for this application.

    • 28.11.2021 - application received
    • 30.11.2021 - documentation received
    • 14/02/2022 The estimated* issue date for your Passport

    till now status still this same "Processing application" this is just a joke

    In general when tracker flicks to ‘printing’ how long does it take for the book to be dispatched?

    when I renewed mine a few months ago it was disptached a few hours after printing, so I imagine it's not more than a few days max

    My sons first time application changed to printing on Saturday morning, which is fantastic as my estimated date was the end of March but I had someone tell me it could take another month, I thought that seemed quite long if it were already printing.

    Mine was adult renewal a few months ago and yeah like I said the status changed after a few hours and was disptached. Maybe it's different for child application? But I don't imagine why since it's already been approved, hopefully you see it disptached by Monday since it's already printing
