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.
- You can only apply for a passport using the express order procedure in person at the Citizens' Registration Office.
- The application will be filled out by the office staff with you on site. All you have to do is sign it.
- When you apply, your fingerprints will be taken solely for the purpose of storing them in the passport chip.
- Usually a flat print of the left and right index finger
- Children under the age of 6 do not have to give a fingerprint.
- You will be notified when you can collect your express passport.
- You can authorize another person of legal age in writing to collect it from the authorities.
- For important reasons, you can also apply for the document in another municipality or at a German diplomatic mission abroad.
Please contact your local citizens' office.
- You have German citizenship.
