Ah right..... A few years ago. Apologies. I would still doorstep if near the office and have the time. Bring flight ticket as proof. They can turn it around in an hour if they want.

Pasting info below from the Passport Office website which implies that booking a flight and then realising that you don't have a valid passport does not constitute grounds for an emergency (same day) application....

Can I get my passport today?

In the case of an emergency situation (the death or serious illness of a family member, or for emergency medical treatment of the applicant) we can issue your passport on the day.

Additionally a Pilot Rapid Renewal service has been introduced in the Passport Office in Molesworth Street, Dublin. This will facilitate where possible and by appointment only, the renewal of a passport for an Adult or Child Travelling in less than 3 working days. This service is available only through the Dublin office. A first time Adult or Child applicant cannot avail of this service.

If you wish to make an appointment for the Rapid Renewal Passport Service visit http://www.passportappointments.ie/

In all other circumstances, it will take a minimum of 3 working days to issue a passport.

Ryanair flight but wasn't aware that on her passport she is down as Mary even though we all know her as Marian.

Will this mean she can't travel?

Obviously she can't travel under a different name.

Ask Ryanair if they'll change it.

Any changes within 48 hours are no bother as far as I know

You'll have to change it. Those are two completely different names.

Let her make an appointment for Monday morning for the Rapid Renewal service online.
Let her bring her passport and completed application form and photographs, ánd a copy or her travel arrangements.
There are no guarantees, but it cán be done and it hás been done!

You sure that's with ryanair? Ryanair don't seem to do Dublin to Kerry unless I'm missing something.

Here's the info on accepted ID for domestic ryanair flights, but from searching their available flights, I don't think they do domestic flights in Ireland at the moment, and that may also explain why it doesn't list Ireland on that page.

My best guess would be to double check with her that it's definitely ryanair.

If it's a different airline check their webpages to see what ID will be needed for domestic flghts.

From looking at skyscanner, it only returns aerlingus for Dublin to Kerry flights, so chance are it's them, if so here's the info on their requirements ID wise.

In terms of a new emergency passport, here's the relevant info from the passport website.

There's always the bus or train as well. No id required

Exactly.

The DAA winter timetable say that Aer Lingus is the only airline doing scheduled flights to Kerry. Virtually anything with your photo on it will do for Aer Lingus domestic and UK flights.

A girl in work was telling me the same thing happened to her bro in law. To change the name cost more than another flight.

I don't know how true that is though.

Since the nice Ryanair was introduced a few months ago i dont think you will incur a cost to change it, my sister put in a wrong country for passport and rang up and changed it straight away for free.

Best of luck, ring straight away as if you have to book a new flight it might be cheaper than changing the name.

http://www.ryanair.com/ie/fees/

Half way down it says name change fee of 110 euro. Ring up and say some sob story it might work

What do you mean by 'the only way'? According to the DAA timetable and the Kerry airport website she is flying with Aer Lingus, nobody else flies there from Dublin.

Yes this is normal. They get processed together until they get to checking stage as they have to be posted out in separate envelopes.
Maybe they had to rescan the photo on you mums one, or was it randomly selected for an internal security check; either will give a delay of one day.

Good chance it will be there today.

You can go to passportappointments.ie and book a slot for the Rapid Renewal service (provided you have your old passport in your possession).

And providing they are over 18 and haven't had their previous passport lost or stolen.

Hi,

I'm going to Paris next Friday and after checking in the Garda station I might need a new one as mine is a bit damaged.

I seeing it takes 0-5 days for one and is €150 if it's one day late I can't go do they usually get it to you before the 5 days?

Never being under so much stress in my life it's my girlfriends Christmas present possibly ruined she has being looking forward to it so much.
