Irish passport application - parental signatures do not match
Does anyone know if the requirements around parental signatures on child Irish passport applications/renewals?
Background: I recently submitted my daughter's renewal application for her passport only to have it returned with a fresh copy of the parental consent section because her father's signature has changed from the previous application, 9 years ago.
I had assumed that the reason for witnessing the signature was to ensure that the person who signs the form is actually who he/she says he/she is.
