I am pleased to confirm to the Deputy that the passport for the applicant issued on 12 March 2010. This application was received by the Passport Service on 03 February 2010 through the regular post channel i.e. it did not use the Passport Express service provided by An Post. As advised on the Department's website applicants should only apply by regular post if a passport is not required for at least 4-6 weeks. This application was processed within this 6 week timeframe.
