German citizens who are not registered in Hamburg can apply for their passport at the Migration Office of the Ministry of the Interior and Sport. You can get more information by phone or on the Internet. German citizenship is required. Up to the age of 18, the consent of all custodians (parents or guardians) must be available (either through a personal interview or a declaration of consent with a certified signature). The applicant must appear in person. We have to confiscate your old passport or a temporary passport after it has expired. Validity: For people over 24 years of age, the passport is valid for 10 years. It is valid for 6 years for people under the age of 24.

In principle, only one valid passport is issued per person.
If proof of a legitimate interest is provided, however, additional passports that are valid at the same time can be issued.

Your child needs a travel document when traveling abroad. There are a number of ways that children can do this.
This can be a children's passport, an identity card or, depending on the destination country, a regular passport.
You can update a child's passport if an old child's passport has expired, your child's child's passport has been stolen or lost, your child's name has changed, or if entries other than information about residence or height are incorrect or missing .

The children's passport can be extended by one year up to the age of twelve if it has not yet expired. In this context, it must be provided with an up-to-date photo.
