How to apply for a passport

Irish citizens who have previously held an Irish Passport can now apply for their Passport Book and/or Passport Card online.

If you are not eligible, or do not wish, to apply online, our How to Apply for a Passport guide takes you through each step of your Irish Passport application. The guide will answer some of the most common questions like:

  • what form you need and where to get one
  • documents you need to include
  • photograph requirements
  • witnessing an application form
  • how to submit it
  • passport fees
