The Passport Section of the Ministry of Interior issues and renews passports and travel documents to Cypriot citizens. Children up to the age of 12 may be registered on their parent's passport, either their mother's or their father's upon the issue of a passport to their parent. Children over 12 years of age should have their own passport. The application should be completed by the minor applicant (under 18 years of age) but then signed by both parents in the presence of the Consul.
Applications for the issuance or renewal of a passport or a travel document are submitted at the Consular Section of the Embassy if the applicant resides or visits (in the case of loss of passport) Ireland.
The procedures and documents required in each case for either the issuance or the renewal of a passport are set out below:

NOTE: Due to the fact the Embassy does not issue passports itself but instead sends the applications to the Ministry of Interior in Cyprus, applicants wishing to apply for a new passport or for a renewal of their existing passport should do so well in advance of any scheduled trip they are planning on taking since the process can be time-consuming.
