Apply for an express passport
Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-PfalzIf you need a passport urgently, you can apply for it using the express order procedure. The delivery time for your new passport is then usually 3 working days until it is ready for collection from the domestic authority. You pay a surcharge for this.
The express passport is a regular passport whose production is accelerated. If you need a passport immediately, you can apply for a temporary passport. However, this does not have all the functions of the regular passport and has a significantly shorter period of validity.
If you are traveling with children, you can also apply for their passports express.
You can apply for your passport using the express procedure at your local citizens' office at your main place of residence. You can also make such an application at any other citizens' office if you have an important reason. There is an additional surcharge for this.
