Second passport, other passports
As a rule, you may only hold one valid German passport. For an exception (second passport, several passports) you must prove your legitimate interest.
Description
As a rule, you may not hold more than one valid passport issued by the Federal Republic of Germany. For an exception to be made, you must be able to provide concrete proof or credible evidence of a legitimate interest in a second passport or several passports. Each individual case is carefully scrutinised. Exceptions are handled very restrictively.
Another passport is valid for 6 years.
Express order:
A so-called express passport can also be ordered from the Bundesdruckerei. The processing time (application to delivery) is about six working days and costs 32 euros in addition to the fee.
You must make an appointment for your visit using the contact form.
Each individual case will be carefully examined. Exceptions are handled very restrictively.
