The vacation season begins. Anyone applying for a passport now needs to be patient. It is currently taking up to eight weeks instead of around two weeks for the Bundesdruckerei to deliver the documents to the cities and municipalities. This is according to a spokesperson for the German Association of Cities.
Anyone who urgently needs a passport for a long-distance trip can apply for it using the express procedure. Production normally takes three working days. The express procedure costs an extra 32 euros plus the cost of a passport. People over the age of 24 pay 70 euros. This passport is valid for ten years. For under-24s, the passport costs 37.50 euros and is only valid for six years.
In justified individual cases, the authorities can issue a temporary passport. For example, if it is needed immediately and urgently. Proof of this must be provided. This temporary document is only valid for one year. It costs 26 euros and must be returned when the new passport is issued.
