However, if you already hold a valid passport it is not possible, for security reasons, to have it amended in any way. Please note that documentary evidence of citizenship will be required for each child added to a parent s passport. If you wish to include the name of a child under 16 years of age, or have other changes made, you do, however, have the option of applying for an exchange passport, or a new full passport. The procedures to be followed in either case are the same as for a standard application but in addition the child's long form birth certificate and the witnessed consent of the other parent, on the Pas M form, must be submitted. The PAS 2 application form is for the use of applicants resident in countries other than Ireland, Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and must be witnessed by a member of one of the professions listed at section 8.
Forms are available on request from the any of the passport issuing offices listed above.
The statement of loss form, PAS L, should be completed and witnessed by the relevant police authorities where a person's passport has been lost or stolen.
