Children's passport expired - all information

To be able to fly on holiday with the family, children up to the age of 12 need a valid passport. Once this has expired, you must apply for a new one from your local city office:

• To apply for a new children's passport, it is imperative that the child is with you.
• In addition, both parents must be present when applying. If a parent is unable to attend, a power of attorney must be issued.
• If the parents live separately, only the parent with whom the child is registered has to be included in the extension.
• Note: Single fathers need proof of sole custody or mother's consent.
• An extension of the children's passport usually costs between 5 and 10 euros.
