Passport provisional
Current information
From May 1, 2025, photographs for passports and ID cards will only be taken digitally. The photo can be taken by certified photographers. Paper-based passport photos can no longer be accepted due to the change in the law.
A temporary passport is only issued to Germans in special individual cases. For example, if a passport is needed immediately and it is not possible to issue a regular passport by the time it is used for the first time. The urgency must be substantiated in writing.
To apply for a temporary passport, you must be registered as having your main place of residence in Wiesbaden. If your main residence is not registered in Wiesbaden, you must provide evidence of important reasons why an application must be made in Wiesbaden.
The application for a temporary passport for persons under the age of 18 must be made by the person with custody who has the right of residence. If the custodial parents are not only temporarily separated, only the parent with whom the child normally lives can apply for the temporary passport. The child must also be present when the application is made.
We are happy to be there for you in person, but only work by appointment. Book an appointment quickly and easily online in the appointment calendar.
