The number of passports issued by the Passport Service in 2021 and 2022 to applicants residing in each county on the island of Ireland is outlined in tabular form below. 

These figures are for passports that were applied for through Passport Online. Passport Online is now used by over 90% of applicants worldwide. It is the fastest and most cost-effective way to apply for a passport, and can be used for renewal applications from anywhere in the world, and for first time applications from over 50 countries worldwide. Due to the limitations of the paper-based passport application system, the Passport Service were unable to compile the requested figures for paper-based applications in time for the response to the Parliamentary Question. The Passport Service will share the paper-based figures with the Deputy directly.
