    Just after sending off a passport renewal there, do they get sent back as registered post or just regular post ??

    dont want it bounced back because there may be no-one to sign for it

    Normal express post. No signature required

    Just to advise on the current timelines, I sent in for two passports on 10th and received both on Thursday 17th with passport express. Status on passport tracker had changed on one, but not the second when I checked on the 16th and a query posted on their site was answered by e-mail in 15 minutes.

    Hi, if I have lost 3 passports, and the last passport was a restricted 1 year passport, then what is the likelihood of being given another 1 year passport, and being questioned also? Is there a chance I won't get issused a passport?

    You will be issued a passport, but, it will be heavily restricted and you may have to be interviewed by somebody from the fraud team

    Losing a restricted passport is serious and will be treated as such. I still dont understand why people bring passports on nights out (not saying you did), get a bloody age card!! (Again, this isn't directed at you, its just mad how many irish passports get lost)

    How accurate is the passport tracker? I did not use passport express and my passport has been at the received and registered stage for 2 weeks now and the issue date saying the 12/02. Can I expect it to arrive roughly around then?

    I sent my passport (admittedly passport express) last Monday the 16th. It came up on the site received and registered 17th/1, and there it stayed, and then yesterday afternoon it changed to passport printed, and it arrived in the post this morning

    I signed my form in the presence of a Garda and I went slightly over the line. I didnt want to have to do out the whole form again so I just posted it to get it out of my sight! Should I now expect it to be returned to me because of that or are they generally ok?

    How much over the line? It really depends whether it can be cropped properly in the system. You may get it back unfortunately, but they'll do their best

    A 'g' went slightly under the line but the rest was grand. It's my own stupid fault, I should have been more careful!

    That's not another bio-metric indicator aswell is it?
    What about chefs or sawmill workers whose bio-metric data may change during the lifespan of their passport?

    I am applying for the renewal of two passports tomorrow, (both my parents), must each application require the €9 passport express fee or can they both go in the one (up to four) for €15.50? What are the waiting list times like at the moment?

    Pretty sure the €15.50 one, they'll tell you for definite in the post office. No need to fill in the payment details at the top of the form.

    Time is under 10 working days afaik

    In a bit of a predicament, hopefully somebody can help. Im living in Canada and trying to renew my passport via the embassy here, just went to get my photographs at a photography place just now and when I got them home realised they have put their date and stamp on the back of all four photographs. Tomorrow I have a appointment with the consul general for Quebec to get the photographs stamped and application signed.

    How big of a stamp do they put on it when witnessing and will it be an issue that this place has put their stamps on all four?
    Also if Im sending my current passport with the application am I right in saying I don't have to send my birth cert?

    The stamp shouldn't be a problem. If you're including your passport, theres no need to give your birth cert

    I've just booked a trip to the US for myself and best friend. His Passport is expired and he will need a new one. When booking, I gave his middle name as Richard, but he used Francis on his old passport.

    Should I try to change this on the booking details, or can he get his renewed Passport under the middle name Richard?

    We're not the passport office, if we can help we do. My honest answer is I dont know, ask the passport office and the travel agent.

    You only posted 2 hours ago btw, the people who try their best to help don't sit by the computer, ready to fire answers at you with a 20 second response rate.

    I thought I would get a quick response and it's a passport thread (i think). Usually people are banging out the answers on stuff like this, but it I admit, it's not likely a question that's been asked before. Anyway...I will ring tomorrow and will report back, as it may be useful to someone at some point.

    Another advantage of using Travel Agent over 'self-booking'.

    When I get a new passport, will the country have any way of knowing?

    For example, anyone travelling to Israel will be refused entry to Saudi Arabia and anyone who enters the separatist region of Nagorno-Karbakh via Armenia will be "permanently refused entry into Azerbaijan", how can the authorities know if you have a new passport ?? I want to to some travelling when I graduate. Cheers folks.

    If you have a new passport you won't have any issues.

    I've travelled into Arab countries on my new passport, which I only got because my old one had an Israeli stamp.
