There’s always a horrible sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realize you have to go through the passport renewal process. It may seem like just the other day that you were going through the rigmarole of taking new photos etc. but alas, the years have passed and here you are again trying to get it all sorted so you can jet off on your vacation.

 

Luckily for those Irish living in the UK, the process has now become remarkably simple thanks to photo booths established in Irish centers across the country enabling you to take the perfect passport photo, one that you’ll still be happy to look at in ten years time.

The new, instantaneous passport renewal service was rolled out in major cities in England, Scotland, and Wales and allows users to access their passport photo online rather than relying on a physical print, making it easier to apply online to renew your Irish passport.
