Application office for passport / identity card

Do you need a new passport or identity card? You can find out what documents you need and find answers to the most frequently asked questions in addition to the application forms, here.

 
There will be a system update on 1 May 2025. After this date, we will no longer be able to order incomplete applications, and biometric data will be deleted from the system. We therefore unfortunately must become even stricter when accepting applications with incomplete documents, for which we kindly ask for your understanding. Please make sure that your documents are complete at the appointment!

Please understand that we can only answer questions that have not yet been answered on this website. This applies to both telephone and written enquiries.

Passports and identity cards cannot be applied for by post.

Please take an appointment online.

Please bring all documents with you in original plus one copy, the originals will be returned to you. Copies made on site cost CHF 1.00 per page.

You can find details about the fees and transit times here.
