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.
