Welcome
Passport application with Honorary Consuls
Passport applications may be made at our Honorary Consuls’ offices in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Barrow upon Humber, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, Londonderry/Derry, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth and Southampton.
Please note
- Applications with Honorary Consuls are possible by appointment only. Please arrange the appointment directly with the Honorary Consul.
- You may only apply at the Honorary Consul’s office if you live in their respective consular district (see contact details).
- For information on the documents required for your passport application, please see the separate information sheets provided by the German Foreign Missions.
- Passport fees listed in the information sheets must be paid in form of „postal orders“. Due to fluctuating exchange rates, please ensure that you leave it as late as possible before purchasing your postal order, and that you check the up-to-date pricing here.
- For an application with an Honorary Consul, an additional fee is incurred (per person/ also for children):
€84.58 (competent foreign mission: German Embassy London)
€85.49 (competent foreign mission: German Consulate General Edinburgh)
The fee is to be paid in GBP and varies according to the exchange rate.
Unlike passport fees, the additional fee may be paid in cash unless otherwise specified by the Honorary Consul in your notification of appointment. - The Honorary Consul only accepts applications and then sends them on to the competent German foreign mission. The final decision on your application and – if necessary – requests for further documents are made by the German foreign mission.
- The Honorary Consul reserves the right to decide whether a passport application should be dealt with directly at the German foreign mission. Especially in difficult cases, the Honorary Consul may refer any application for a passport to the German Embassy or the Consulate General.
