Travel document for foreigners
If you do not have a passport or passport replacement, the Foreigners Office can issue you with a travel document for foreigners in individual cases.
Description
In principle, foreign persons must present a valid national passport. Whether it is unreasonable to obtain a national passport must be examined by the Foreigners Office in each individual case. The travel document can only be issued for the duration for which the residence title is valid. In the case of an unlimited residence title, the maximum validity can be issued.
Prerequisites
- You are registered in Munich
- You demonstrably do not possess a national passport or passport substitute and cannot obtain one in a reasonable manner
