A special passport-collection session will take place at the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Germany in Berlin on 31 October 2026. It is intended only for people whose applications for Russian international passports were submitted directly to the Consulate General of Russia in Bonn. Collection requires an advance online appointment and confirmation that the passport is ready.

Who can collect a passport in Berlin

The collection session concerns applicants who submitted their passport applications directly to the Consulate General of Russia in Bonn. The Consular Section is the embassy unit that handles consular matters, including passports. This is a specific collection arrangement in Berlin; it does not state that applications can be filed there instead of in Bonn.

The session will be held on 31 October 2026 from 09:00 to 13:00 at Behrenstraße 66, 10117 Berlin. The notice does not provide a booking deadline, alternative collection dates or rules for applicants who cannot attend. Check the appointment system before making travel arrangements.

What to do before travelling to Berlin

First, check whether the passport is ready. Use the application number shown on the receipt issued when your documents were accepted. Do not rely solely on the date of application: the stated procedure requires checking the status before booking a collection slot.

After confirming readiness, make an online appointment for passport collection through berlin.kdmid.ru. Advance booking is required. If you have questions before travelling, contact the Consular Section by email at infokonsulat@russische-botschaft.de. The notice does not state whether appointments can be changed or transferred, so confirm this with the consular office if necessary.

Documents for an adult applicant

An adult applicant must collect their Russian international passport in person. Bring the passport being replaced. If the new document was requested as a second valid passport, bring the currently valid passport that is being retained instead.

If neither of these passports is available, bring a Russian internal passport, if you have one, or another identity document. A Russian internal passport is the domestic identity document used within Russia; it is different from an international passport used for travel abroad. The notice does not list further acceptable forms of identification, so verify document questions with the Consular Section before the visit.

Collecting a passport for a child

A minor’s passport is collected by the legal representative named in the application. A legal representative is generally the person legally authorised to act for the child, such as a parent, but for this collection the representative must be the one specified in the passport application.

Bring the child’s birth certificate, the child’s passport if the child has one, and the representative’s passport. A child aged 14 or older must attend in person. Attendance is not required for a child under 14. The announcement does not specify procedures for a representative who was not named in the application, so this should be clarified directly with the consular office.

What this announcement does and does not cover

This information is about receiving a ready Russian international passport in Germany. It does not announce a visa rule, a Russian entry procedure or a process for registration after arrival in Russia. It also does not set out requirements for applying for a new passport, because the applicants covered have already filed their documents in Bonn.

If you need information on a Russian visa, entry documents, migration registration after arrival or a different consular service, check the relevant requirements with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs or the competent Russian consulate. Nationality, country of application, fees, processing periods and submission methods must be checked with the relevant authority when they are not stated in the notice.
