Public to be asked for its say on new design for Irish passports

It’s hoped the next generation Irish Passport will launch before the end of 2025.

It will be the first redesign of the Irish passport in over a decade and a public engagement process will be launched tomorrow to create a new design.

The Department of Foreign Affairs’ design team is currently considering themes anchored in Ireland’s natural environment.The short online questionnaire, set to be launched tomorrow, will ask the public to consider which Irish flora and fauna should be included in the inner pages of the new passport. The current passport book is ten years old, and the International Civil Aviation Authority recommends documents undergo frequent revamps to include new security features.

It ranks sixth in the Henley Global Passport Index, providing citizens with visa-free access to 187 countries.
