Reisepass Ausstellung im Ausland

If you live abroad, you can apply for your German passport in person at a German mission abroad or, in some countries, at an honorary consular official.

If you are a German citizen and live abroad, you can apply for your passport at the German diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate) responsible for you or, in some countries, at an honorary consular official. You must always apply for a passport in person.

If you have lost your passport or it has been stolen, the diplomatic mission abroad can issue you with a travel document for your return to Germany. This travel document for return is issued for the duration of the intended trip, but for a maximum of one month. It only entitles you to return to Germany, but not to travel on to other countries. If you lose your passport, please contact the nearest diplomatic mission abroad.
