Dublin Airport unsigned passport warning as summer travel ramps up
With summer travel expected to hit record levels at Dublin Airport, an important passport warning has been issued to Irish travellers. More than 10 million passengers are set to pass through the airport this summer, marking the busiest season in its history. Over June, July, and August, approximately 3.5 million travellers are expected each month, with flights to 190 destinations operated by 43 airlines. Earlier this week, Managing Director Gary McLean said the airport is focused on ensuring a smooth, enjoyable experience for all. He said: "Summer 2025 is set to be the busiest on record at Dublin Airport and we're determined to make it the best ever for passenger standards. Our passenger satisfaction scores hit an all-time high last year but we're not resting on our laurels, we're rolling out a whole host of further improvements, building on the huge amount we've done over the past three years and continuous passenger feedback. Our aim is to put a smile on the face of every person - young and old - that walks through our doors." Airport operator daa is working hard to keep security wait times under 20 minutes for at least 90% of passengers, despite record daily traffic reaching over 120,000 travelers on peak days. Meanwhile, more seating, family zones, hydration stations and a new Dublin Airport app packed with real-time updates and offers aim to improve the overall journey. However, amid these welcome improvements, a lesser-known but crucial issue has come to light - many flyers are forgetting to sign their Irish passport. One passenger recently shared their experience of being stopped at Dublin Airport for an unsigned passport. They said: "I'm not a stranger to travelling abroad, but on a recent holiday I was given a warning while flying out of Dublin Airport. An airline employee informed me that I was missing a little known detail on my passport. While I had noticed the small space for my signature, I didn't realise it was necessary for it to be signed before I got on a plane. "I've had the same passport for nearly four years and all that time I hadn't written down my signature. Within that time frame, I had also travelled within Europe and to America without being told that it was a requirement. "However, after my experience at Dublin Airport, I was told by several other people that they had also been asked recently to make sure their Irish passport was properly signed too before departing." The confusion partly stems from the passport's design, updated in 2013. Previously, the signature line was prominently placed on the data page beneath the photograph. The current version features a smaller signature space on page three, near the binding, which is easier to overlook. The Irish Passport Service has highlighted how important it is to ensure that your passport is signed. Parents should note that there are different rules for children, depending on their age and ability. They stated: "When you receive your passport, you should sign it. If it is a child's passport, the child should sign it. If the child is not able to sign their name, it should be left blank." Signing your passport is essential for identity verification and validates the document for travel. Meanwhile, the Government is working on a redesigned Irish passport, anticipated for launch in the second quarter of 2026.
