The Passport Rapid Renewal Service was introduced in 2014 in the Molesworth Street passport office in order to facilitate urgent travel in a limited number of cases. The Rapid Renewal Service is located in the Molesworth Street office because that office has both a public counter and a production machine. Cork passport office has a public office, but does not possess a production machine. Therefore, Cork passport office is not in a position to facilitate a rapid renewal service at this time.
