Emergency passport.

Evening all,

Major balls up, I'm off on a stags on Friday and my passport is out of date.

Is there a realistic chance of getting one before Friday.

Where is the stags and whom do you fly with?

If you are flying with Aer Lingus to Britain, driving licence will do

Need a passport so, and I'm pretty sure you have to fill in a form online before you leave including passport number.

You can edit the document number up until check in so several hours before the flight.

You may be able to get an appointment in the Passport Office next week. You will need the form fully completed, your photos and your expired passport and proof of travel.
Log on to the dept of foreign affairs website and follow the menu options. It will take 3 working days from the day of your appointment to get the passport.

Go in a queue on mon morning before passport office opens. At opening time someone comes out and directs people to the required counters. Have all documentation, forms, money, printed flight booking. I did this last year as I couldn't get an appointment online. They gave me an appointment for Tuesday or Wednesday morning (can't remember exactly). I collected the passport on Thursday morning for a flight on Friday. It took 3 trips to town. Annoying but I'll never let it happen again.
They are as helpful as can be considering how busy they are.

You can book an appointment on line at passport office website. I think you can only book it 2 days before you are due to fly.
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING
Completed passport form stamped by local Garda station.
4 photos, 2 of which stamped and signed by Garda.
Your old passport.
Fee (€180 I think?????)
You will also need proof of travel dates (copy of flight receipt etc)

My appointment was at 9:40am. I came in and sit down at your window number. No need to draw a ticket. The good looking blonde in reception is very helpful if you have any questions.

Just sit and listen for your name to be called. When it is called they take your form, pics and old passport from you. You then go to pay at a different window.

Passports wont be ready until AFTER 2:30pm at earliest. You will be told all this at the office.

Oh yea I remember now I was told to try online and come back in and ask for that same person if I couldn't get an appointment. You have to go online at a certain time (like ticketmaster for an ed sheeran concert) and hope you get on before the slots are gone. I can't remember did I get one of the emergency slots or I went in again anyway.
I was so relieved when I had the passport in my hand. It's a time consuming process.

Phil I dont think you are going on that stags.

I had to get a passport in a hurry a couple of years ago. You need to make an appointment in Dublin or Cork

https://www.passportappointments.ie/

You will need to bring proof of travel along with the application. Looks like it takes 3 days now. You can get someone else to collect it, they need ID and your written consent. The passport costs an extra €55 on top of the regular fee.

I remember there was a bit of waiting but not much thanks to the appointment system. Some walk ins that had only discovered their passport was out of date at the airport usually with a fractious travel companion.

Not sure if the new online application has an emergency facility can't see it mentioned anywhere. Best of luck.

Go to passport office , stand at the front of the most miserable looking group.

Suddenly and dramatically crash face first to the floor maybe breaking your nose or knocking out a few teeth.

Minions will scuttle out from behind the counter and drag you in , patch you up and issue you with a shiny new passport.

Your welcome.

Emergency passport.
