Reisepass (passport) - report loss

Reisepass - Verlust melden
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
You are required to notify the Passbehörde (passport authority) immediately of the loss or theft of your passport or your child's passport (Verlustanzeige — loss report). You must also file a Diebstahlanzeige (theft report) with the police. This applies to the Reisepass (ePass, passport), the temporary passport, and the Kinderreisepass (child's passport) (the child's legal representative is obliged to report it). You can then, if applicable, also apply for a replacement document at the same time (under "Weiterführende Informationen" — further information).
