New passport for the child for family reunification

abdulak • 11 January 2024

I would like to ask: Can I renew my child’s passport, since it will expire on October 2024, or could renewing it affect or delay the process of granting a visa to my child?
Please note that the passport and its number will be completely new and different from the current passport and number that my child submitted in March 2023 to the embassy to obtain a family reunification visa, as the family file is still under process by the immigration authorities.
What should I do after obtaining the new passport for my child, meaning should I send it to any party and what are these parties?

Hello abdulak, thank you for your question. If you decide to renew your child's passport then you will need to send that information to the respective embassy where you applied for family reunification.
If you are currently in Germany and need further help with the process of family reunification. You can search for a migration counseling center near you. They can often help you with the next steps. You can search for one yourself using the BAMF navi: https://bamf-navi.bamf.de/en/Themen/Migrationsberatung/
I am happy to help if you have any further questions.
Best wishes
