Dear FOI,

Regarding timeframe for both questions, please provide the average turnaround time from date of application to issuance of passport for each of the last 5 years.

For both questions I am specifically asking about first time child applications. The first question relates to all first time child applications regardless of where they were made. The second question is specific to first time children applications made from the Philippines.

Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

P R Cox
