115. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to provide an update on the status of a passport application (details supplied) as the applicant's travel date is imminent and all requested additional supporting documentation has been provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the Passport Service requested further supporting documents from the applicant 6 October 2023, documentation was received 13 October 2023. The documents received were not as requested and a second request for the correct supporting documentation was issued to the applicant on 23 October 2023. The application cannot proceed until the required supporting documents have been received.

I encourage the Deputy to advise his constituents of the advantages of using the substantially more efficient online service, which is now used by more than 90% of applicants worldwide.
