as an A4 PDF at real size, ready to print. The tool makes the copy, not the certification: a solicitor, commissioner for oaths, peace commissioner, notary public or another person the requester accepts certifies it after seeing your original. You can download one document free every 24 hours across all tools in this browser. After that, new documents require paid access. ## Make a free passport copy to get certified 1. Open the photo or scan of your passport’s biometric page. Passport is selected and Print size starts at 100%, so the page prints at its real size on A4. 2. Check the automatic crop, keep the machine-readable lines at the bottom and rotate the image upright. 3. Download the PDF, reopen it to check every detail is readable, then print it in colour at Actual Size, with fit-to-page scaling switched off. The tool makes the copy; a person certifies it. For a citizenship application, [Citizens Information](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving-country/irish-citizenship/becoming-an-irish-citizen-through-naturalisation/) says the certified colour photocopy of your passport’s biometric page must be certified by a solicitor, commissioner for oaths, peace commissioner or notary public. Bring the printout and your original passport. Other organisations set their own rules on who may certify and what the certifier writes, so check with the one that asked for the copy. ## Prepare a copy when a tenancy is being agreed [The Data Protection Commission](https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/dpc-guidance/requesting-personal-data-prospective-tenants) distinguishes an initial rental enquiry from the stage of entering a tenancy. Its guidance questions collecting photo ID, financial statements and PPSNs from everyone applying to view. Ask why the letting agent needs the attachment at this stage and what evidence is necessary before preparing a copy. The tasks below are for the eventual tenant's agreed document sharing. A copy does not establish immigration permission, certify an original or make an excessive information request appropriate. ## Make a PDF from an IRP card photo 1. Choose the front of your Irish Residence Permit (IRP). Add the back if the letting agent asks for it; select Both and use Swap front and back if needed. 2. Select Front or Back to check that side’s crop. A table photo is cropped automatically; use Adjust to keep the whole card visible. Automatic in Print size fits the image to the available space without claiming an exact physical size. 3. Keep Front and back on one sheet for a recipient who wants both sides together. Otherwise, use one page per side. 4. Select PDF, download and reopen the file. Check names, numbers and expiry dates at normal reading size. For a passport, use the full biometric page and do not crop off the lower machine-readable lines. Use Automatic in Print size for an A4 letter or supporting certificate. Percentages use the physical reference shown below that control. ## Keep the requested documents separate This tool handles one document with an optional back. It can put both sides of the IRP on one sheet; it does not combine an IRP, passport and payslip into an application bundle. Do not send additional documents simply because the tool can process their images. ## A4 and real-size copies A4 and 100% of a passport reference are the starting choices here: its longest side is 125 mm. Use Automatic in Print size for an IRP card or a full-page paper scan, keeping its proportions within the available space. Print at Actual Size to preserve the dimensions prepared in the PDF. Enlargement is available if specifically requested, but there is no general Irish requirement to enlarge identity copies to 150%. If the attachment exceeds the letting agent’s size limit, use [Compress](https://dokus.app/en-ie/compress-irp-passport-pdf/). For sharing with an organisation that accepts a marked reference copy, use [Watermark](https://dokus.app/en-ie/watermark-passport-irp-copy/) after conversion. ## Keep a readable original This tool accepts images only: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and browser-supported HEIC/HEIF, up to 25 MB per file. Add the front and an optional back, at most two images. PDF files cannot be opened here. The downloaded PDF contains an image of each page. Selectable text, interactive fields and digital signatures are not preserved. Keep an original signed PDF or a fillable form outside this workflow. Photos and scans are processed in your browser, with camera metadata removed from the export. The source stays unchanged. This is document-copy preparation, not passport-photo production or official identity verification. ## Common questions ### How do I get a certified copy of my passport? Make a copy of the biometric page here and print it in colour at real size. Take the printout and your original passport to a person the requesting organisation accepts, such as a solicitor, commissioner for oaths, peace commissioner or notary public, who certifies the copy. ### Can I put both sides of my IRP on one PDF page? Yes. Add the back and keep Front and back on one sheet. Use that layout only when the recipient accepts both sides together. ### Should I send both a passport and IRP to every letting agent? Ask which identity evidence is necessary at the tenancy-agreement stage. The converter prepares one document and its reverse, not a required bundle. ### Does this tool certify my passport copy? No. The tool only makes the copy. A person certifies it after seeing your original. Conversion does not verify identity or renew immigration permission. ### How does free access work? One document is free every 24 hours across all tools in this browser. Examples and downloads of documents already counted do not use another free document. New documents then require paid access. Document processing stays local; activating or verifying paid access needs an internet connection. Dokus keeps your passport, IRP card and driving licence on your iPhone, ready to share a prepared copy. 4.8 out of 5 stars [Free on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/dokus-private-id-wallet/id6781915709) ## Sources Reviewed on 10 November 2026 - [Becoming an Irish citizen through naturalisation (Citizens Information)](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving-country/irish-citizenship/becoming-an-irish-citizen-through-naturalisation/) - [DPC: Requesting personal data from prospective tenants](https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/dpc-guidance/requesting-personal-data-prospective-tenants)
