Are we into the second four weeks then? This is where I am just trying to be helpful. It is our experience that there should be a more streamlined process when the documents are uploaded. If the documentation were checked at that stage, it would without a shadow of a doubt quicken the process and hasten any alert to the applicant for further information. Ultimately, it can be nearly eight weeks before an issue is identified. At that stage, as Mr. Conlan said, they face a 15-day queue or are back to the start.

Does the Passport Office still have to contact the individual garda who signs the consent form or the witness form?
