German passports are issued to nationals of Germany for the purpose of international travel. A German passport, besides the German ID card and the German Emergency Travel Document (called “Reiseausweis als Passersatz”), is the only other officially recognized document that German authorities will routinely accept as proof of identity from German citizens. Besides serving as proof of identity and presumption of German nationality, they facilitate the process of securing assistance from German consular officials abroad (or other EU members in the case that a German consular facility is absent).

Every German citizen is also a citizen of the European Union. The passport, along with the national identity card, allows for free rights of movement and residence in any of the states of the European Union and European Economic Area.

Since 1 November 2005, German passports have had a contactless smartcard (proximity card) chip embedded into the front cover page, in accordance with ICAO standards. The chip and antenna are not easily visually recognizable, but their presence is indicated using the ICAO biometric passport symbol at the bottom of the front cover. It carries all the data printed in the passport, including a JPEG file of the photo, protected by a digital signature.
