Appointment-System of the German Foreign Office — New York

Return Continue

If you already have a German passport or identity card and your name has not changed since it was issued, this is the wrong category.

Each appointment reservation is only valid for one applicant.

Please book a separate appointment for each individual, including minors.

If you or your child still require a name declaration or want to register your or their birth in Germany, please book an appointment for a name declaration/birth registration separately in advance via our website.

Detailed information on family matters (birth registrations, name declarations,  self determination) can be found on the joint website of the German missions in the USA.

The Consualte recommends registering the birth of a child with the German registrar's offices for all German citizens born outside of Germany. This will make future passport applications for you and your child much easier and in some cases it is required for your child to obtain German citizenship. Further information can be found here: https://www.germany.info/us-en/service/04-FamilyMatters/birth-registration/922548

Please fill out all application forms before your appointment. 

You can take passport photos for $ 5 at a photo booth operated by a private provider in the Consulate General. The photo booth is not suitable for infants and small children under 4’3’'. Payments of up to EUR 1,000 can usually be made by Visa and MasterCard. The payment is processed in EUR. (The photo booth is excluded from this).
