Have you lost your passport or has it been stolen? Then you are obliged to inform the relevant passport authority as soon as possible. You must also inform the passport authority if you find the document you thought you had lost. The same applies to temporary passports and children's passports.
You must apply for a new passport in person and bring the necessary documents with you. You need a passport, for example, if you
In urgent cases, you can apply for a passport using the express procedure.
Tip: If you need a travel document until the new (express) passport is issued, you can apply for a temporary passport at the same time. The temporary passport is valid for a maximum of one year. You must return it when you receive your new passport.
The passport office will inform the police if your passport is lost. You can also report a theft directly to the police yourself.
The passport authorities in Baden-Württemberg are
As a rule, the citizens' bureaux or citizens' offices there fulfil the tasks of a passport authority.
The passport authority in whose district you are registered with your home, or your main residence if you have more than one home, is responsible for you.
Important:
Your application for a passport must also be processed by a passport authority in your home country that is not locally responsible if you can provide an important reason. A passport may only be issued with the authorisation of the locally competent passport authority.
Loss or theft of your passport
You can report the loss informally in writing or in person to the passport authority at your place of residence or to the police.
On request, the passport authority will issue you with a certificate of loss and immediately inform the police of the loss or theft of the document so that it can be stored in the INPOL search system and the Schengen Information System (SIS).
If the issuing passport authority does not accept the loss report, the issuing passport authority will also be informed of the loss.
If you wish to apply for a new passport at the same time, you must do so in person and bring the necessary documents with you.
If you wish to apply for a new document as part of the loss report, you will need certain documents. Details can be found in the service description "Applying for a passport for the first time or after expiry". If you apply for a new document at a later date, the certificate of loss is also required.
The following fees apply when a new passport is issued:
If you are under 24 years old, the fee is
From the age of 24, the fee is
The passport has 32 pages. You can also apply for a passport with 48 pages. In this case, you will have to pay a surcharge of 22.00 EUR.
The fee (without surcharges) is doubled if
If you apply for a passport at a German embassy or consular mission, for example if you lose your passport, you must pay a further surcharge of 31.00 EUR.
The certificate of loss is usually issued immediately.
If you find your passport again, you must notify the passport authority. The passport authority will inform the police so that it can be deleted from the INPOL search system and the Schengen Information System (SIS). Only then can the passport be used again.
Please note: Germany cannot influence whether and how other countries set up their national police information systems or whether and how often they are updated. Therefore, in individual cases, foreign authorities may not recognise your recovered passport for use abroad or may even confiscate it. To avoid inconvenience, for example when you are on holiday, it is advisable to apply for a new document at your local citizens' office if your passport is lost or stolen.
