First Time Passport Application Timelines - 2022

[G Dog]

March 9th, 2022-Naturalisation certificate received
March 9th, 2022- Online passport application made, documents requested sent via An Post
March 10, 2022- Application received

Estimated date of issuing: May 5th, 2022

My questions are...
1. For those who applied in 2022, how long did it take to get your non-Irish passport/supporting documents back?
2. Did your esimated issuing date ever get pushed back? I am to go on holiday later in May, my first time out of the country in two years.

I applied in September 21, and got my UK passport back in January. My original estimate date was 14/12, but I got asked for more details, and so my new estimated date is March 8 (and I'm still waiting). At least I got my original passport back.

Status changed to processing:

Tracker has also not been updated since my documents were delivered (as of 17.02.2022). I have contacted the passport office via chat and have been told that they have received my documents on 07.02.2022 and my application is now being processed with an estimated date of 13.04.2022.

I think there is an issue with the tracker now that it does not get updated but the application is being processed.

Now tracker has started to work and has been updated
