The card is meant to be handy for EU travel. Personally it is a pain in the arse as many border authorities are slow to accept it.

I'm very quite well travelled and I've never had an issue with it at any passport control. The only problem I had was a check-in desk monkey in Athens tell me that it wasn't a passport until I pointed out the word written on the card. That wasn't long after the card came out though.

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there's is a difference in going to the cork or Dublin passport office with regards to time taken to get a passport??

Need to renew mine for travel in first week of June.

If I went to appointment on 24th in Dublin does anyone think I might get passport by 31st??

I can get earlier appointment for cork but I'm not sure if going straight to Dublin might be quicker. I'm in galway by the way.

Also, how do you go about getting someone else to collect passport for you??

Hopefully someone here can help me a little ðŸ˜‰ðŸ˜‰

Also, can I book flights with my expired passport?? I was going to book them but it's asking for passport id and expiry date and I think the passport office needs proof of travel so what do I do now? ðŸ˜²ðŸ˜²

Credit Checker Moose · 19-05-2019 6:59pm

Who is asking for passport details? Normally it is not needed to book flights.

All passports are printed in Dublin. They cannot print in Cork so all requests go through Dublin anyway

Ah, ok, so I will probably need to collect it in Dublin.

Thanks

Sheep Shagger · 22-05-2019 8:59pm

So my renewed passport card arrives today so that was 2 business days for the passport card and 7 business days for the passport card.

Very impressed.

charolais0153 · 22-05-2019 11:15pm

Is there any way around not having a public services card for a first time application

As the title suggests I was under the impression that a PPS was card was sufficient ID flying from Ireland to the UK but a lady on the phone told me I need a passport. Is this true?

You're making a big mistake phoning for that type of information because the person you speak to is not the person you will have to deal with at the airport. And to prove my point, what they told you is incorrect. An awful lot of people in call centres simply wing it - they make it up.

If you follow the link provided by poster ted1 in post #2, you'll find that Aer Lingus will accept virtually any id with your photo on it.

Jamesy002 · 26-05-2019 10:52pm

Hi,
Do I need photo ID for lost passport to be renewed. Last passport issued 3 years ago so 7 yrs left . One page of passport website says no , where as application form says you do .
If required will they accept photo ID from my job which is a financial institution. I've seen they appear student I'D.

Thanks
Alan

Maybe double check the year? Passport validity for babies was 3 years up
Until 2017 so if your child is 2 and got a passport as a baby it should still be valid?

Sorry to be brutally honest but that's a few days away. Your child won't be going.

Not true at all, if they act today. Any delay might lead to that outcome but if they did as I suggested they should get the passport by Friday.

killbillvol2 · 27-05-2019 5:02pm

How can a 2 year old child's passport be out of date?

salmocab · 27-05-2019 5:49pm

Children’s passports were 3 years and now are 5 so unless it’s some very strange circumstances a two year olds can’t be out of date.

This - if the child is 2 then it shouldn't be out-of-date as first Passport for a baby used to have 3 years validity which is now 5 years since 2017.

If you do an online application today or tomorrow you should have it by next weekend. Assuming there is nothing odd about your application. You can get the photo done in most Tesco shops it gives you a code that you input during the process and your pic will pop up.

sillysocks · 03-06-2019 1:00pm

Have done an online renewal for my son. Just wondering once the photo gets accepted online does it happen that they can still reject it or does that generally mean there shouldn’t be any issue?

Will the code be on the Tesco photos.?

If you do it today you should have it by the end of the week, maybe early next week because of the bank holiday. I used a mobile phone to take the photo but someone else needs to do it, no selfies.

Yeah it prints you off 4 photos and has a code on it too, you can do one yourself by phone but as said no selfies, so long as it’s a plain white background you’d be fine but if there is a tesco handy with the photo booth I’d use it for ease. All you need for online is the photo, your old passport and your credit card. Good luck

Caranica · 03-06-2019 2:34pm

Just make sure the photo booth is marked as being compatible with online applications, it's not exclusive to tesco but not all booths have the facility

Apologies I should have said this, think they are Photo-me booths. It says on the outside that they do it. They have an official agreement with the DFA, think their website has a tracker thing for finding one.

Book an appointment to go in to the office. Don't do an online renewal.....You'll be cutting it too fine. If you're travelling within 3 weeks you can renew it in the office. It could take 3 days to get it posted out but it is much faster. You need to have your photos done a d all other documents going ij

The online renewal is generally with you in 48 hours. He’d have the passport before the appointment.

dartboardio · 04-06-2019 1:31am

For the poster asking,, for someone else to collect my new passport i just had to write a cover letter confirming my partner could collect it for me and he Brought ID, no issues whatsoever.

Would like to hear an update on the kids passport above for the two year old...

Online renewals seem to be taking ages lately. I know 3 people who applied and took well over 2 weeks, one of them took 3 weeks and they were normal renewals. Seems there are problems so I would make an appointment to Cork or Dublin, definately wouldnt apply online, bring your travel documents too with the application form.

Would, to be in the safe side. Certified copy of your driving licence will do, they won't accept work id.

What visas or requirements do you need if visiting South America for a 3 week holiday? Also, do you need any vaccinations? I know there are a lot of other tips on the net about drinking water and safety etc but I just want to know the passport/visa and vaccination requirements. Thanks.

From Dublin to Limerick. They have no printing equipment in Cork. Funds and space issue. Those machines cost millions

You probably should have made a public counter application. Current turnaround times are 10 working days for online. You've only given yourself 8 before your travel.

Check with the embassies of the countries you're going to. They will tell you for sure.

In general South America is visa free for Irish passport holders.
