What if I lost my German passport?
If your German passport is lost or stolen, you are required to report it to the responsible passport office (usually your local citizens’ office) as soon as possible. You must also inform the office if you later find the passport that you reported lost. The same applies to children’s passports.

Head to a passport agency in person. If your previous passport was lost or stolen, you’ll have to apply for a new one in person. Unfortunately, a replacement passport isn’t free. You’ll have to pay the standard application fee—$135—when applying for your new passport.
