Any advice on first time passport application? I note the guidelines on passport.ie, anything else that needs to be taken into account? Also, I assume I will get original documents back right?

Just got a letter inviting me to the 2pm ceremony on the 20th, good luck to everyone else

Where do you see that?

Looks like they dropped the arcane requirement to get letters from all past employers, which can be a pain in the arse with those who no longer exist, and Revenue not always sending through required documentation when asked.

Any other changes in it?

There are no exit checks at Irish airports, no passport is required (except by airlines) to leave.

Why so?

Met a civilian INIS rep coming back into Dublin last week, she was lovely and we had a great chat, but then, as I travel out once a week anyway, I've had the same from 90% of the Garda INIS officers, never had a problem really. I agree with Walrus, at least this way the Gardai can be put to much bet...

Does anyone know if this case has been heard yet / if there was an outcome? Seems directly related to the OP's query.

It's your 69 number. Look at page 3 of the application form "Detailed Guidance on Filling out the Application Form" where they give explanatory notes, it states: Section 2: Identification 2.7 Write your GNIB number (This is found on your GNIB card). 2.8 Write your Person Identity Number: (...
