Requesting a temporary identity card

Your identity card has been lost or has expired and you need a new one? Then you can apply for a temporary identity card.

Leistungsbeschreibung

If you need an ID card immediately and cannot wait for the production (usually takes 4 weeks) by the Bundesdruckerei, there is the possibility of issuing a temporary ID card. With the temporary ID card, you can, for example, bridge the time until the issuance of a regular ID card.

As a rule, this will be the case if the ID card is lost (must be reported immediately) or if the application is submitted late.

You can substantiate the loss by submitting a notice of loss.
At the same time, you must apply for the issue of your new ID card when you apply for a temporary ID card.

Your temporary ID card is valid for a maximum of 3 months.

You must return the old temporary or regular ID card when the new temporary ID card is issued to you.

The application for a temporary ID card must be made in person, only the collection is possible by a representative (issue power of attorney!).

You must apply for the temporary ID card in person at the Citizen's Office. If you do not apply for your temporary ID card at your main residence, you need an important reason and a surcharge will be added to the fee. If you contact the Citizen's Office you have chosen beforehand, you can find out whether and to what extent the Citizen's Office recognizes your reason.
You can apply for the temporary ID card and the new regular ID card at the same time.
The authority will issue the temporary ID card to you directly on the spot.

Please contact the citizens' office of your city, municipality or administrative community.

  • you have German citizenship
