Which identity documents do I need to read out the photo?
If you have an identity card or electronic residence permit that was issued since 2nd August 2021, you can use it to read out the photo.
Otherwise, you will also need your valid passport. In addition to German passports, foreign passports and many other documents are also accepted. If you have any questions about whether a specific foreign document can be used, please contact our support hotline (telephone number: 00800 3550 9000).
