I'm filling on my passport renewal form and there's a space for a PPSN. I live the north so only have a National Insurance Number. I can't remember what I put down the last time - it was 10 years ago! Not sure what and can't get through on the phone to the passport office.

You just leave it blank. Only applies to people in the 26.
Lads, what's the handiest way to get to the passport office in Dublin? I'm coming from the north. Planning to be that direction around 7.30am on Wednesday morning. Cheers

Is it back in Molesworth St or still at temporary location?
Think you can actually renew online. Just need to send a photograph. Check out Irish Passport on Twitter.

You upload the photo online a well. I renewed mine ( I was travelling at a time with less than 6 months on my passport). New passport arrived within a week of the online renewal. Applied June of this year

Think it's at Knockmaun House, 42-47, Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2.
Online wasn't an option - it was a renewal for my wife and she was changing her name. You can't do that online
I travel regularly to the Mespil Hotel which is pretty close to there, you could do the Port Tunnel and Eastlink bridge but that'll set you back an extra €13 at that hour of the day... We come in the M1 and N1 and keep heading for the City Centre through Whitehall, Drumcondra then turn down Gardiner St. At the bottom of Gardiner St turn left and follow the road across the Liffey ,keeping left over the bridge as the traffic splits. That takes you down City Quay, at the 1st main junction turn right onto Westland Row follow it straight up until you see Merrion Sq on the left, turn left before the Square this should be Mount Street ahead.
Its usually 10/10.30 when I make this trip so traffics not bad, I can't vouch for what its like at 7AM

Don`t even have to send a photo , get your photo taken in one of those Machines in Tesco and you get a code . I renewed mine online on Wednesday , had it delivered in the Post on Monday ! I live in the Free State btw ! !

Those directions were spot on, thanks again. Made it to the passport office a minute or two before 9 and was out again by 10 past. Came home using the port tunnel and was back in Belfast for 11
I just done an online application. Really handy! Anyone applied recently? How long until it arrives?

I did it in February, took about two weeks, probably longer at this time of the year. I also applied for the weans two weeks ago in the post office and they are due to arrive on 15 May.

Applied for a first time Irish passport last year, came in the post ten days earlier than the estimated ready date on the online tracker.
Is it for the Ulster Final?
Pain in the hole!! I qualify because my Father was born in the wee 6 but even though I gave them his birth certificate as well as mine and my license they sent my application back.
Apparently I need my parents marriage certificate as well which they don't have (you didn't get one in Canada 38 odd years ago)
It's gonna take me another 2 months to complete my application. Would it go quicker if my parents had never been married?? I have them both barrels on the home but they insisted they need this document... pricks!!!
Is your father named on the birth cert? Just say that he wasn't married.

Cheers. Checked the tracker there and it says on or before 11th May.
I applied online two Mondays ago and it said it would take about three weeks online, came the Monday after. So handy.

My daughter had a children's passport which ran out last year. As she is now 18 can we renew on line? Something tells me it couldn't be that simple for a first time adult passport.

Q. I got my current passport for 5 years when I was under 18, am I eligible to apply online? Yes, if you received your current passport as a minor for 5years but are now 18 you are eligible to use this service.
Looks like you can
