Important information: The current production time for biometric passports has increased.

For standard passports, processing times are currently approximately 10 to 12 weeks from the date of application.

The Embassy has no influence on processing times of the Federal Printing Office.

The Federal Printing Office is working at full capacity to cope with the extraordinarily high demand for new passports this year.

You want to apply for a passport for yourself or your child? Regardless of whether it is your first passport or you had one before, several documents must be submitted with your application. You will also find information on the application process, appointments and fees.

Read the information carefully - the list of required documents in particular.

By being well prepared you can avoid having to come to the German Mission a second time.

We will take the fingerprints of adults and children of 6 years; together with the biometric photo information, the data will be stored on a chip in your passport.
