1. Nature of Services

By completing an online form and paying the required fees, you are purchasing a service from ÉirePassports. ÉirePassports is an independent document assistance service that provides expert guidance for the Irish passport application process. We are not affiliated with the Irish Government or the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). You may apply directly through official government websites. Our service is intended for those who want professional support to avoid delays, errors, or rejections.

2. Scope of Responsibility

ÉirePassports is not involved in the decision-making process of the Irish Passport Service. While we use our expertise to assist, we cannot guarantee the success of your application. We are not liable for delays or additional requests made by the Irish Passport Service. You are responsible for ensuring all information provided is accurate and legible.

3. Communication

All communication is primarily conducted via email. You may also contact us through our secure online contact form or request a callback where available. By providing your contact details, you consent to receive updates about your application and related services.

4. Privacy and Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your privacy. All personal data is securely stored and only used for the purposes of processing your application. Your information is deleted once your service is complete or after a defined retention period. We do not print or store paper copies. Data is not shared with third parties without your explicit consent. We comply with Australian privacy laws and, where applicable, the GDPR.

 

5. Application Deadlines and Inactivity

Once your application has been submitted to the Irish Passport Service, we encourage you to send your supporting documents promptly. We set a 75-day deadline from the date of our document request. If you do not provide the required documents within this period, your application may be withdrawn, and no refund will be issued. If there is no communication from you for more than 6 months after payment, we will consider your file inactive and securely delete your personal information. In some cases, we may offer to reactivate your case at our discretion. Reactivation is not guaranteed and depends on our availability and data retention policies.

6. Fees, Refunds, and Cooling-Off Period

All fees are clearly listed before submission. By submitting an order form, you agree to these fees. You may cancel within 12 hours of payment for a full refund. After this period, a 25% non-refundable processing fee applies. Once your application has been submitted to the passport office or fees have been paid to DFA, no refund is available. If your service is cancelled, your data will be deleted and the application voided.
