Passport application of a temporary passport
Service Description
A temporary passport shall be issued only in justified individual cases. It can be issued and handed over immediately. It can only ever be issued if it is no longer possible to apply for a passport in good time - even by express procedure (production time max. 72 hours) - and it cannot be handed over in good time before the first use. The passport authorities may require the submission of appropriate evidence.
The application of minors must be approved in writing by both parents (as long as they exercise joint custody). In the case of unmarried or divorced parents, consent may be given by the parent to whom the family court has granted sole parental custody of the child. The decision of the family court must be presented when the application is made. Furthermore, in the case of minors, it is possible for one parent to sign at the time of application and the other parent to sign at the time of collection.
Process flow
You must appear in person to apply for the passport (e-passport). The application will be filled out on the spot with the processor. You only need to sign it.
The personal appearance is essential because of the handwritten signature on the application form and the identity verification. The identity can be proven by an official photo ID. This is usually the identity card or the previous passport.
On the other hand, the passport can also be collected by a person authorized in writing, who must provide proof of identity
