    Hi guys,
    Sent away for daughters passport on 15th of April(lost her old one).. It has been stuck on stage 2 since 25th of April. We are traveling THIS Sunday.. I eventually got through on phone last week and they put it on a priority list for travel that date and I also sent in proof of travel through Twitter. They would not guarantee over the phone that it would be here in time. Any advice? Has anyone had to cancel a holiday because passport didn't come in time?

    That is a lot longer than it normally takes. Sorry to hear about that and wish you best of luck. Hopefully you will be able to travel!

    Normally lack of passport isn't covered under travel insurance unless perhaps that it was lost after you took out the travel insurance and reported to the Gardaí.

    Presumably understaffed (they were in March when I received mine, took six weeks), and unprepared for the amount of applications pouring in because of the potential Brexit

    I heard they have a lot more staff in this year than they had any year before, but demand is inexplicably high. Whether it is the Brexit, all passports expiring at the same time, many people losing their passports, many people getting their very first passport, it seems unclear what the reason is.

    They advise everyone now to get their passports sorted before booking travel, and calculate 6 weeks for to get one.

    I'm an irish citizen by way of naturalisation and I'm having to renew my passport for the first time, on the passport form it asks for original supporting documents to be sent along with the application - does this apply for renewals as they would have received this same document the first time so should have it on file.

    Proof of flight is enough with application no, birth certificate not really needed

    Just got a call, passport ready to collect in Mount Street tomorrow afternoon. Fair play to them, they may be under pressure but popping in with your proof of travel and having a chat with them does wonders

    Is there any point in trying to contact them on Twitter, have a renewal application in and the tracking shows an expected issue date of 03/06, but am flying out on the 01/06 ?

    None really, they're too slammed to answer the phone or Twitter. Get into Mount Street, bring proof of travel and explain the situation.

    Quick question, if the amount that the hire company want to block on your credit card is more than your credit limit, what happens?
    I only have 1500 limit on mine, it seems most companies block a lot more than that

    Passport at stage 5 of 6 since Wednesday. Do I have to wait until I have an post tracking number before I know its posted? Its say. "Stage 5 of 6: Your Passport has been Printed.

    Your Passport has been printed. The production and posting stage takes about 2 working days.". How hong does postage normally take as I'm very tight for time.

    mine wasn't posted until it was updated with the tracking number. I was tight on time too and asked about postage time and passport office said An Post guaranteed them next day delivery for the passports so once it's posted you should have it the following day.

    Hi I'm applying for my first Irish passport. I am a uk citizen but living here 20 years.
    So I could get an Irish passport 2 ways, one is that I was born to Irish parents, the other is post nuptial.
    Problem is I'm not sure what documents I need!
    I have my own birth cert, my marriage cert and my parents marriage cert. I don't have my parents birth Certs.
    Any advice as to what docs I need for either option?
    I don't think it's clear on the form.
    Thank you.

    Mine was at stage 2 until around 17th May and then shot up to stage 5. Its near impossible to get them on phone so maybe try twitter if your really under pressure to get it soon, but a lot can happen in a day it seems

    Isn't that a naturalisation option which costs €€€€. Irrespective of you were born to Irish parents (with limited exceptions) you are already an Irish citizen and don't need to be naturalised.

    Obtaining the birth certs is quite easy with minimal information; certainly easier than a naturalisation process.
