Inspired by Ireland’s landscapes, heritage and natural world, the new passport takes holders on a journey through the Irish year, celebrating the habitats, wildlife and cultural traditions that shape life on this island.
Developed with input from more than 15,000 people through a public consultation. The design features native flora and fauna, Celtic-inspired artwork, and motifs influenced by Newgrange, alongside some of the most advanced passport security technologies in the world.
All passports issued from 26 June will feature this new design – a passport that is modern, secure and distinctly Irish.
