And the card is restricted to EU travel only afaik.you can definitely travel with the replacement paper version. The card version is just a handier version for people to carry in their wallet.
Yes it is only for EU travel.And the card is restricted to EU travel only afaik.
Yeah. My own card passport came back within 48 hours too last month. My point is that the Passport Office’s processes have left much to be desired in my instance. One error has led to a delay of five months where I wasn’t even notified of the error until I enquired. Having fixed that, they identified another error with the submitted photo which their own software on their own website cropped, approved and which their staff rejected six weeks later.My husbands passport was with us 21 hours after filling in the renew on line.
Renewed our kids passports earlier this year and both were back within the allotted time although one did arrive a week before the other. The onus is on the applicant to complete the forms correctly - this included ensuring who ever witnesses the consent for kids completed it correctly
Of course they should notify people promptly if there are errors in their application. But they shouldn't process an incomplete application. It is a waste of time as they will effectively have to process the application twice, taking up time in processing the ones that have been completed correctly and can be issued immediately without delay.What a great and efficient system! Customer-focused and user friendly!
(Passport holders are, after all, charged a fee for their passport, so a more customer-friendly approach is warranted perhaps?)
In the end, because of this slack approach, the Passport Office just ends up adding more layers of administration, and all just to spare themselves a small bit of work up front. People (applicants and witnesses) will make mistakes in form-filling. It’s part of the process. Punitive delays shouldn’t form part of that process.
I’m not for a moment suggesting that they process an incomplete application.Of course they should notify people promptly if there are errors in their application.

They automate as much as possible.But should they not review the original application in its entirety to ensure there are no additional errors or omissions that require to be rectified other than the first error identified? Rather than call a halt to the whole process once they hit the first error?
If 40% of applications are filled out incorrectly, it is.https://m.independent.ie/irish-news...lames-any-delays-on-form-errors-41681458.html
It’s all the customers’ fault. So it is.
If a form is being filled out incorrectly 40% of the time maybe they should look at the form and the top x reasons for errors.If 40% of applications are filled out incorrectly, it is.
Submitted for a first time child application recently and renewal of my own. The form itself is in no way complicated.If a form is being filled out incorrectly 40% of the time maybe they should look at the form and the top x reasons for errors.
Doing the job that I do, there's a lot of form filling. It's incredible how much information is left out, especially with anything that involves medical questions.If a form is being filled out incorrectly 40% of the time maybe they should look at the form and the top x reasons for errors.
The form itself is in no way complicated.
Go through it step by step and you will have your passport in a couple of days.
I think the issue with selfies is that most are too close-up.Plain white cabinet, fridge door and my son (adult) took a selfie that was accepted.
