Citizens’ offices that issue ID cards in Germany

Bring your previous passport or identity card. Bring a certified provider’s digital-photo retrieval code: this branch has no photo machine.

Confirm the timing before making a separate journey. Printed photos are not accepted. First identity-document applications require an original German birth certificate or an original foreign certificate with a translation by a translator authorised for German courts. Newly naturalised applicants also bring the original naturalisation certificate and previous identity document. The central photo machine requires a height of at least 120 cm.
