Made application online last Friday for renewal of our passports. No matter what we did, our own attempts to take photographs failed so we went and got them taken in a chemist shop who specialise in this. Cost for 2 photos was €14 and before you leave they verify your photo is acceptable, give you a code that you put on your passport application form and up pops your pic. Sent off my completed application x 2 with €75 for each. Result of this is we got our passports in registered post this morning. So, 1 working day and we had our 2 passports. Well done to the public service.
