A passport application for the named person was registered with the Passport Office in Molesworth Street on 11 March, 2010. It was received through the ordinary post services which, due to the effects of industrial action, are currently being processed within six to eight weeks.

Applications are routinely processed on a first come first served basis and the application in question will be processed this week. Priority is given to applications where there are serious humanitarian issues involved.
