Subject: Official Information request - Passport processing time

[You don't often get email from [FOI #23412 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I would like to make an OIA request regarding the processing timeframes for passports.

1. Please provide the average processing time for a standard passport, categorized by month, spanning from July 2019 to the present date.

2. Please provide the average processing time for a standard passport, categorized by year, spanning from the earliest date you have records for up to year 2023. If retrieving older data proves to be overly cumbersome, please limit the statistics to the more readily available information.

3. Does DIA have any opinion as to is the current time is too long and if so what's the ideal timeframe to get a standard passport

4. Please give me the document that covers the plans to improve passport processing times.

If my requests are too difficult to process then I would like your help to modify them so they will be easier for you to process.

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Felix Lee
