To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has requested a report on whether it is possible for the Passport Office to alert persons by e-mail or text alert that their passport is due for renewal with a minimum eight weeks notice; the cost involved in doing same; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A passport reminder service is available on the Passport Service website . This reminder service sends an e-mail, to those who have registered, three months before a passport is due to expire. Registration is simple and merely requires those interested to record their name, e-mail address and the expiry date of the passport. It is possible to register a number of different passports (e.g. all members of a family) using the one e-mail address with the reminder e-mail detailing which passport registered is about to expire. The reminder e-mail also provides details of how to renew the passport, where to obtain passport application forms, etc.
