RFID chip with biometric certificate
Since November 1, 2005, German passports have unencrypted smartcard (proximity card) chips and a 13.56 MHz loop antenna mounted on the front cover page, in accordance with ICAO standards. Chips and antennas are not easily visually recognizable, but their presence is shown using ICAO biometric passport symbols at the bottom of the front cover. It carries all the data printed on the passport, including the photo JPEG files, protected by digital signatures.
On November 1, 2007, some changes were made to the passport:
- Applicants must provide, in addition to traditional passport data, scan two fingerprints, which are added to the chip.
- All-numeric, all-numeric serial numbers previously assigned sequentially replaced with a new randomly assigned alphanumeric entropy serial number, to increase the entropy of the serial number from the previous 35 digits to 45 bits. This increases the cryptographic key strength of the Basic Access Control mechanism of a 10-bit RFID chip, which makes the brute force attack about 1000 times more expensive.
- Validity of passports issued for holders aged under 24 increases from five to six years; Older applicants receive valid passports for ten years.
Spelling is different from the same name in the same document
- German name : German names containing umlauts (ÃÆ'¤, ÃÆ'¶, ÃÆ'¼) and/or ÃÆ'Ÿ are spelled correctly in passport zones that can not be read by machines. , but with AE, OE, EU and/or SS in machine-readable zones, such as MÃÆ'¼ller being MUELLER, GroÃÆ'Ÿ being GROSS, and GÃÆ'¶ÃÆ'Ÿmann being GOESSMANN.
- The above-mentioned transcripts are commonly used for plane tickets etc, but sometimes (as in US visas) as well as simple vowels are used (MULLER, GOSSMANN), so passports, visas, and airline tickets can display spelling different from the same name.
Three possible spelling variants of the same name (eg MÃÆ'¼ller/Mueller/Muller) in different documents sometimes cause confusion, and the use of two different spellings in the same document may give people unfamiliar with German orthography the impression that the document is forgery.
- Non-German Names : In some naturalized names, some special letters that are not available may always be replaced by simple letters, also in machine unreadable zones. "Bundesdruckerei AG, " who prints a German passport, uses the LA8 Passport font that includes a Latin subset of Unicode characters (ISO 10646), so letters such as ÃÆ'§ and? can be displayed at least in the passport zone that the machine can not read. In machine-readable zones, special characters are replaced by simple characters (for example, ÃÆ' to E) or transcribed according to ICAO rules (for example, ÃÆ'  ¥ to AA, ÃÆ'¸ to OE, etc.).
Names originally written in non-Latin writing systems may pose another problem if there are various internationally recognized transcription standards.
For example, the Russian family name ???????? transcribed
"Gorba tschow " in German,
"Gorba chev " in English (also ICAO standard),
"Gorba tchov " in French,
"Gorba chov " in Spanish,
"Gorba czow " in Polish, and so on.
- General rules : It is recommended to use the exact spelling for airline tickets, visas, etc. which is used in machine-readable passport zones and refers to this zone if requested. In addition, the German naming law accepts umlauts and/or ÃÆ'Ÿ in the surname as the reason for the official name change (even spelling changes only, for example from MÃÆ'¼ller to Mueller or from WeiÃÆ'Ÿ to Weiss is considered a name change).
Publishing Process
A German passport was issued, such as a German ID card, by the local city registration office. Applicants must apply for a new passport in person and the data in the newly issued passport is essentially an authentic copy of the personal data found in the locally stored registration documents. The passport was then produced centrally at the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin.
If the requirement can be proven, more than one passport may be issued with overlapping validity (eg when traveling to Arab countries with Israeli stamp on passport, or when necessary for professional reasons). In theory, a person can simultaneously hold up to ten passports. Additional passports have six instead of ten years of validity.
German passport (32 pages, sent within a month, issued to someone aged 24 years and over) costs EUR60. Passport for someone under 24 years old who has a six year validity fee of EUR37.50. The 48-page passport is subject to a premium charge of EUR22, a premium express delivery of EUR32.
Child Passport
The type of passport issued by Germany since 2006 is a child's passport (in German: Kinderreisepass). Unlike ordinary German passports, Kinderreisepass does not include biometric features and has no "EU" inscription on the top of the front cover. The exclusion of biometric information is due to the sustained development of infants and children and the low safety risks they exhibit; However, photos used in passports must comply with biometric standards. All other features are similar to ordinary passports: burgundy red and German insignia printed in the center of the front cover. Children's passports are issued for children up to the age of twelve and are valid for a period of six years. When a child reaches the age of twelve, a regular passport must be obtained for international travel.
The child's passport has sixteen pages (unlike the usual 32), the eleven are intended for stamping and the other is used for title pages, instructions and personal information. The first page displays the words "Son Passport" in three languages: German, English, and French.
Unlike ordinary passports, the information pages in Kinderreisepass are not laminated with security (but have other security features) and have different formats. The information included is more or less the same, with the following differences: Passport type is PC (Passport for children), not P (Passport). As in other passports, the main information page ends with a 2-line machine-readable code, in accordance with the ICAO 9303 standard.
A child passport functions like another passport, with the exception that it is not a biometric (or e-Passport). As a result, traveling to the US, for example, requires a tourist visa even though Germany participates in the US Visa Release Program. Alternatively, infants and children of all ages are allowed to obtain a normal German biometric passport (non-passport) passport, which however has a low cost advantage, a short processing time, and can be issued by an honorary consul (making them easier to obtain). by German emigrants living away from German embassies or consulates). Just like a temporary passport, a passport of children is issued without being sent to Bundesdruckerei GmbH in Berlin, which is the main reason behind this advantage.
Hold the second passport
Second German Passport
Germany allows its citizens in exceptional cases to hold more than one valid German passport to avoid certain travel restrictions. (For example, some Arab countries refuse entry if a passport contains a seal of Israel: reporters may require multiple passports when traveling abroad when a passport has been sent to consular officers for visas that take a long time to publish.) In extreme cases, up to 10 German passports can be held at the same time. However, this additional passport is valid for 6 years even if the "original" passport is valid for 10 years.
Double citizenship
The right to hold German passports and foreign passports at the same time (dual citizenship) is restricted under current German citizenship laws. Germany allows dual citizenship with other EU countries and Switzerland; dual nationality with another country is possible with special permission or if obtained at birth (for example, one German parent and one foreign parent, or if a child is born of a German parent in a juice-soli country such as America Union).
Children born on or after January 1, 2000 for non-German parents get German citizens at birth if at least one parent has a permanent residence (and has this status for at least three years) and the parent lives in Germany for at least eight year year. Children must live in Germany for at least eight years or go to school for six years until their 21st birthday. Non-EU and non-Swiss parents-citizens born and grown abroad are usually unable to have their own dual nationality (but exceptions are made for citizens who do not allow citizenship rejection or have overpriced/difficult/humiliating rejection procedures ).
Freedom of the Germans' journey
Visa requirements for German citizens are administrative entry restrictions by other state authorities placed on German citizens. On 23 May 2018, German citizens have a visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 188 countries and territories, ranking Germany's 2nd passport in the world in terms of travel freedom in accordance with the Visa Restriction Index (tied with Singapore passport)).
