British citizens travelling to Northern or the Republic of Ireland do not need a passport but are advised to take a form of identity. Remember that the name on your passport must match the name on your booking, otherwise you may not be able to travel and your insurance may be invalid. Other passport holders should check with the relevant embassy regarding passport and visa requirements.
The Identity and Passport Service have recently introduced changes to passport applications - all first time adult applicants must now attend an interview and it will now take up to six weeks to get a passport. For more information please visit www.ips.gov.uk.
