This is a passport collection arrangement, not a new passport application service. On 3 October 2026, the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Berlin will issue completed Russian international passports to people whose applications were submitted directly to the Consulate General of Russia in Bonn. Collection requires an advance online appointment and the appropriate original documents.

Who can collect a passport in Berlin

The arrangement concerns applicants who submitted documents for a Russian international passport at the Consulate General of Russia in Bonn. It also applies to the legal representatives of minor applicants. A legal representative is the parent or other person authorised to act for a child and named in the original passport application.

The collection will take place at the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Berlin, Behrenstraße 66, 10117 Berlin, on 3 October 2026. The announcement does not state which appointment times will be available or the final date for booking. Check the official booking system before making travel plans.

What to do before visiting the consular section

First, check whether the passport is ready. You will need the application number shown on the receipt or certificate issued when your documents were accepted. Confirming the status before booking helps ensure that you arrange a visit only for a completed passport.

After checking the status, book an appointment through berlin.kdmid.ru. An online appointment is required for this distribution date; the published information does not describe an alternative collection procedure without a booking. The announcement does not specify any fee, passport processing time, or a procedure for applicants who filed in another location. Verify such matters with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the relevant Russian consulate.

Documents for adult passport applicants

The applicant must attend in person. Bring the international passport that is being replaced. If you applied for a second international passport, bring the valid passport that will remain in your possession. A second passport means an additional valid Russian international passport, rather than a replacement document.

If you cannot provide the passports listed above, you may present a Russian internal passport, if you have one, or another identity document. Bring original documents rather than relying on copies. Before travelling to Berlin, review your appointment details and make sure the identity document you intend to present is available.

Collecting a child’s Russian international passport

A minor’s passport is collected by the legal representative identified in the application. The representative should bring the child’s birth certificate, the child’s passport if the child has one, and the representative’s own passport. These documents establish the child’s identity and the representative’s role in the collection process.

A child who has reached the age of 14 must attend in person. Attendance is not required for younger children under the announced procedure. If a document is unavailable or you need to clarify how the rules apply to your case, contact the Consular Section before the visit at infokonsulat@russische-botschaft.de.
