Passport provisional
Current Notice
: As of May 1, 2025, photographs for passports and ID cards will be taken exclusively in digital format. For more information, click here (opens in a new tab).
A temporary passport is issued to German citizens only in specific, exceptional cases. For example, if a passport is needed immediately and a regular passport cannot be issued in time for its first use. The urgency must be substantiated in writing.
To apply for a temporary passport, you must be registered as having your primary residence in Wiesbaden. If you are not registered as having your primary residence in Wiesbaden, you must provide compelling reasons why the application must be filed in Wiesbaden.
Applications for a provisional passport for individuals under the age of 18 must generally be submitted by both legal guardians. The place of residence of the legal guardians is irrelevant in this context. If one legal guardian is unable to appear in person, a written declaration of consentPDF-File86,73 kB must be submitted. The original document is not required, but a copy of the person’s ID must be provided. The passport can only be issued to the custodial parent who submitted the application (alone) if the written consent of the absent custodial parent is submitted at the time of pickup. The child must also be present at the time of application.
We are happy to assist you in person, but we operate exclusively by appointment. Book an appointment quickly and easily online through the Citizens’ Office calendar.
