This passport application was submitted through Passport Express. It was registered with the Passport Service on 7 February and has been given an estimated delivery date of 28 February, based on the category of application. When the applicant submitted the application through Passport Express, the Passport Service website provided a target turnaround time of 15 working days for renewals and 20 days for first time applicants. This information was also on the An Post website. The Passport Service website also advises applicants that if travelling within 15 working days they should submit an application, by appointment, at the public counter at either the Dublin or Cork Passport Offices.

Unfortunately as the applicant has already submitted an application, she cannot be facilitated with an appointment for a second application.
