Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 27 - International Co-operation
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs

Mr. John Conlan:

I think I said we have issued nearly 700,000 passports, so the vast bulk of those have been addressed. This morning we have 167,000 applications on hand. Interestingly, over 80% of those came in online. Of that 167,000, some 104,000 are with us in the Passport Service and we can process, and are processing, them. In the cases of the other 63,000, which is about 38%, we are awaiting further information from the customer to enable us to make the decision to award or not award a passport.
