    New rules from 2024 for family trips abroad

    From January 1, 2024, important changes will apply to families traveling abroad. The familiar children's passport has been discontinued in Germany. Instead, children under 12 now need a regular electronic passport with a chip to travel outside the EU's Schengen area. This offers more security through biometric data and is valid worldwide, but costs 37,50 euros compared to the previous 13 euros.

    Validity and cost of the electronic passport

    The new electronic passport is impressive as it is valid for a whopping six years. Within the EU, the Schengen area and often also in Turkey, an identity card is still sufficient and can also be issued to children upon request.

    Existing children's passports and their validity

    There are no worries for parents who already have a child passport for their children. This remains valid until the expiry date. Please note, however, that it is no longer possible to apply for a new child passport.

    What needs to be taken into account when submitting an application

    The abolition of the child passport means that parents will now have to invest more time and money in applying for an electronic passport. However, this offers greater security. To avoid delays, take care of the application in good time, which can be done at the citizens' offices or passport authorities. Required documents include a biometric passport photo, proof of identity (e.g. ID card), a completed passport application and other documents.

    The following documents are required for the application:

    • biometric passport photo
    • Proof of identity (e.g. ID card)
    • completed passport application
    • the previous child's passport (if available)
    • Original birth certificate or a certified copy
    • Proof of residence
    • ID of the guardian present
    • Declaration of consent and copy of the ID of the guardian who is not present

    Background of the change

    With this new regulation, the federal government would like to promote the standardization of travel documents regardless of age. The fingerprints stored in the electronic passport make traveling with children easier as a visa is no longer required, for example to enter the USA.
