The Passports Act, 2008 broadly requires that before issuing a passport to a person, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade shall be satisfied as to the identity of each applicant and that the person is an Irish citizen. Documentary proof in respect of identity and entitlement to citizenship are required for all passport applications. These requirements are outlined in the passport application form notes that accompany each application form. Details are also available on the Department's website www.passport.ie. The person in question applied for a passport on 1 June, 2012 through the Passport Express service. The Passport Service wrote to the applicant on 15 June, 2012 to seek further information in relation to the application.
