<p>The data below shows the volume of passport applications from residents of the
Republic of Ireland that were processed by the passport office in Belfast for each
year from 2017 to 2019:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>9,812</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>9,401</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>9,936</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Following the introduction of a new passport application processing system
that distributes work digitally across all available work locations, the data for
the number of applications processed is not broken down by office. The information
requested is therefore not held in a reportable format from 2020 onwards.</p>
