Topaz stations make passport renewal easier
Ireland's largest fuel and convenience retailer, Topaz, will roll out ID compliant photobooths making it easier for customers to renew their passports.
The installation of the photobooths is made possible by a €1 million partnership with photobooth operator Photo-Me.
The photobooths will allow applicants capture and transfer their Photo-ID straight to the Irish passport office to accompany their online passport renewal application. It will also print them out so they can be used for future ID requirements, a company press release explained.
Fifteen Topaz service stations have already installed the photobooths with plans to expand to 50 by end of the year.
"The introduction of Photo-Me booths in Topaz service stations adds yet another dimension to the many services we offer our customers," said Niall Anderton, Managing Director, Topaz.
Patrick Brennan, Managing Director Photo-Me, said “Photo-Me Ireland is delighted to have agreed a five year licence with Topaz for the placement of our latest technology photobooths. The Topaz network throughout Ireland will ensure we have a photobooth within 5km of 95% of the population at convenient and easy to access locations.”
