Book ahead, as it normally opens on Tuesdays only, and collect the finished passport at the central office.
Bring your previous passport or identity card. Bring a certified provider’s digital-photo retrieval code: this branch has no photo machine. Alternatively, arrange the photo at the central Döppersberg office beforehand; the city gives a 96-hour storage period for using that photo at a branch. Confirm the timing before making a separate journey. Printed photos are not accepted. First identity-document applications need an original birth certificate, with an authorised German translation for foreign certificates. Bring evidence of name changes or naturalisation when relevant. Fingerprints are required from age six. The central photo machine requires a height of at least 120 cm.
