Procedure descriptions

Passport - apply for a temporary passport

If you need a passport immediately and it is unlikely that it will be possible to issue an express passport by the time you travel, a temporary passport can be issued. The passport authorities may request the submission of suitable evidence.

The temporary passport is issued immediately by the competent passport authority.

It is valid for a maximum of one year and must be returned and cancelled when the regular passport is issued.

Forms/Online Services

Responsible department

The passport authorities in Baden-Württemberg are

the municipalities as local police authorities
the administrative communities, which perform or fulfil the tasks of the registration authority.

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.

ifa travel document without fingerprints is expressly requestedfor children after the age of 6 and until the age of 12 and
