Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for UK passports from citizens of the Republic of Ireland were processed at the Belfast Passport Office between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2018.

UK passports are issued to British nationals, and Her Majesty’s Passport Office does not hold records of other nationalities held by dual national passport applicants. Therefore the response provided is based on people who provided an ROI address at the time of their application. The volume of British passports printed between 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 for residents of the Republic of Ireland whose applications were processed by the Belfast passport office was 9,139.
