How to Apply for a Passport
Apply Online
This is the fastest and cheapest way to get your first Irish passport or renew your passport. Once you have your photo, it only takes about ten minutes!
Passport Online is the only way to apply for an Irish Passport in your country.
Passport Online will return your passport book, passport card and relevant supporting documentation directly to you.
If you are resident outside of Ireland and do not qualify for or wish to use the online system, you need to use an APS2 application form.
It is available in Irish (APS2G) and in English (APS2E).
APS2 forms are available:
- By calling to the Embassy during office hours
- Contacting us (include your name and full address in the form) and we will post you the forms.
