Passport issue for minors for the first time
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.
Both parents must apply for a passport for minors if both have custody and the parents live together. Only one parent can submit the application if the consent of the other parent is confirmed in writing.
From the age of 6, fingerprints must be taken for the issue of a passport for minors.
Please note:
Please find out about the specific entry requirements of your destination country and the required identification documents in good time before you travel. Information on this can be found in the travel and security advice issued by the Federal Foreign Office.
Who should I contact?
Responsibility lies with the municipality, the joint municipality and the town in which the main residence is located.

Process flow
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.
