The Passport Office in Cork is the only section of the Department based outside Dublin, city and county.

Under the Government's decentralisation programme, the development co-operation directorate of the Department, currently based in Dublin, is scheduled to decentralise to Limerick. This will involve the relocation to Limerick of some 130 posts and is scheduled to take place during the first quarter of 2007.
