The application of minors must be approved in writing by both parents (as long as they have joint custody).
The application of minors must be approved in writing by both parents (as long as they have joint custody). In the case of unmarried or divorced parents, consent can 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 submitted with the application. The application can be submitted by just one parent if the consent of the other parent is confirmed in writing, a copy of the identity card of the other custodian is submitted and there is no doubt as to the accuracy of this information.
From the age of 7, fingerprints must be taken for the issue of a passport for minors. This is not necessary up to the age of 6. There is a special regulation for entry into the USA. Every child up to the age of 6 must also have fingerprints in their passport. In addition, an entry permit (ESTA) must always be obtained.
- current biometric photo, in passport format (45 x 35 mm) in portrait format, frontal photo without border, without headgear and without covering the eyes
- A civil status certificate (birth/marriage certificate) may be required, e.g. if the spelling of the name is unclear
From May 1, 2025, only digitally created biometric photographs will be accepted in the application process.
The photograph can be taken by external service providers (e.g. photographers) who make it available to the passport or ID card authority in a cloud for retrieval.
Alternatively, digital photographs can usually also be taken at the passport or ID card authority.
If necessary, find out before your appointment whether the photo can be taken at the authority.
Printed passport photos that you bring with you can only be processed in exceptional cases.
The applicant must appear in person to apply for a passport (e-passport). The application is completed on the spot with the processor. The applicant only has to sign.
The personal appearance is essential because of the handwritten signature on the application form and the identity check. Identity can be proven by means of an official photo ID. This is usually an identity card.
From the age of 10, the child's signature must be included on the passport.
The passport can also be collected by a person authorized in writing, who must provide proof of identity.
You cannot take your passport with you immediately after submitting your application, as it is first produced at the Federal Printing Office. If the passport is needed earlier, an express passport can be applied for.
