Hi, my stepdaughter has an Irish passport but circumstances meant that my partner was forced to place a notice on the passport so that he is notified should they attempt to leave the country. As she has dual nationality my stepdaughter is also eligible for a british passport which we believe her mother has applied for and obtained without telling us. How can we find out if my step daughter does in fact have this passport? The child is 9 so we can only rely on her word and her mother will not answer whether she has obtained the second passport or not. My step daughter indicated she travelled to Spain recently without our knowledge and without any flags being raised at passport control.
What country is your step daughter living in that you have been able to place notice? Is it possible they could have travelled on the Irish passport and it's not been picked up? Why would notice be placed on one and not the other?
Hi, she lives in Northern Ireland. So she could have travelled out of the North or an airport over the border.The passport office in the South of Ireland placed the bar on the Irish one. At the time we weren't aware of the existence of a British one so no request was made to place a bar in that. We believe that the British passport was obtained at some stage after the bar was made on the Irish. On Irish passports both parents must sign and be witnessed signing that form. However the British passport requires only one parents signature from what I understand. So she could easily have done this without my husband's knowledge.
