Passport applications for children under the age of 18 need the consent of all guardians (unless the child is married).

All guardians must fill in and sign the relevant part of Section 7 of the application form in the presence of a doctor.

It is the responsibility of the guardian(s) accompany the child to the medical centre for  the doctors signature. The doctor must witness the signature of the guardian(s) which give consent. Please ensure you read all sections of the application form carefully.

The doctor  must be satisfied as to you and your child’s identify and that the photo of your child is a true likeness of them.

Please remember that A Garda must still witness Section 9 of the application and be satisfied as to the child’s identity.

Please note that if both guardians are not present the passport form will NOT be signed.
