Irish citizens can now renew their passport book, renew their Passport Card, or apply for their first Passport Card online using our Online Passport Renewal Service. This fast, secure and convenient service can be used by Irish citizens living anywhere in the world and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
