Passport Watch
Due to considerable backlogs at the Passport Office in Dublin at present , we now recommend that applicants in Australia allow seven to eight weeks for their biometric passport to be produced.
If you need to travel in an emergency, we can issue a non-biometric passport with limited validity locally, at our discretion and on production of evidence of the need for emergency travel.
