If you live abroad and are a German national, you can apply for a new passport or ID card at your German mission. The Consulate Finder is the quick and easy way to find the German mission responsible for you.
The Consular Services Portal enables you to apply for your new passport in an easy and secure online process. Complete your application online and have it checked in advance by the German mission to ensure that it is complete. In this way, you will be well prepared for the in-person appointment at the German mission where you can provide your biometric data (fingerprints and photo).
During the current pilot phase, only online applications for certain types of passports are available at selected German missions. Further German missions and consular services, such as the online application for IDs cards or passports for children, will be gradually added.
