Getting an emergency passport or travel document
- On holiday in France: ask for an Emergency Travel Certificate, a single-use document for one trip back to Ireland. Apply in person at the Embassy in Paris (or an Honorary Consulate in Cannes, Lyon, Cherbourg or Monaco). Not normally issued to Irish citizens who live in France.
- Fee €30 in office hours, €110 out of hours.
- Lost or stolen passports are reported to Interpol and can never be used again.
Not done yet? Report the loss or theft to the French police and keep the receipt: many embassies ask for it.
