419. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the date that a passport which has less than three months to expire is deemed invalid and cancelled; if it is the date on which a new passport application is received; if not, if it is the date on which a new passport is dispatched (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Passport applicants who are seeking to renew their passports do not need to submit their current passport with their application if it is due to expire in the next 12 months.
Once a new passport is issued, their previous passport will be cancelled within 4 weeks.
Further information on the documentary requirements for the renewal of adult passports is available on the Department’s website - www.dfa.ie/passports/documentary-requirements/anadult/renewal/.
