Lost or Stolen Passports

Irish Citizens who are over 18, and have previously held an Irish Passport can now apply for their Passport Book and/or Passport Card online at https://www.dfa.ie/passportonline/.

If you are not eligible, or do not wish, to apply online, you can submit the paper application at the Embassy.

With a view to preventing identity theft and the circulation of falsified passports, there are additional safeguards for the passport application procedure for those adults seeking to replace a lost or stolen passport. From 17 January 2011, adult applicants in this category are required to submit the following additional evidence in support of their passport application:

• If your passport was stolen, you should submit a copy of your application to local police with regard to the theft.
• Long form Birth Certificate and/or Marriage Certificate
• Any form of photo identification (e.g. copy of a drivers licence, residence permit card (if applicable); student card (if applicable); passport from other country etc.)
• Evidence of residency at the application address, e.g. utility bills
