All children born in Germany to U.S. parent(s) have the right to get a U.S. passport. To make an appointment to get a fee or no-fee passport, a consular report of birth of a U.S. citizen born abroad, or apply for the child’s social security number, call the Ramstein passport office at 480-2240 or 06371-47-2240. Customer service hours are Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You’ll need to stop by the passport office in Bldg. 2106, Room 101, at least one day before the appointment to pick up a brochure on how to register your newborn. At that time they will point out what documents to bring to your appointment, costs, and give you an application for the child’s passport.
During the appointment, your child will be photographed, your documents will be screened, you’ll sign the child’s passport application in the presence of a passport agent, and a form will be prepared in order for your child to receive U.S. citizenship. The appointment takes about 20 minutes.
Parents are asked not to travel with newborns until the child’s passport is received. Average newborn passport processing time is eight to 10 weeks. (Courtesy of the 435th Mission Support Squadron)
