Immigrating to Ireland to learn about changes in life in Ireland: Ireland plans to introduce a new identification document by mid-year. This document, about the size of a standard credit card, can be used instead of a passport for travel within Europe. The novelty is that the Irish government will allow applicants to use 'selfie' photos as the ID photo on this 'passport card'. To support this new document, the Irish government will launch an official mobile application for applicants to fill in personal information and upload their 'selfie' ID photos. However, the 'selfie' ID photos will need to be reviewed, meaning applicants cannot use 'enhanced' photos or quirky selfies shared on social media. Furthermore, once the document is produced, cardholders cannot change their photo at will during the validity period of the document, which may disappoint those who frequently take selfies.
