Delivery of your U.S. Passport Instruction :
** At the time of your passport application, either in-person or by mail, you must have a pre-paid courier envelope in your possession.
** While any pre-paid, pre-addressed courier envelope is acceptable, we strongly encourage applicants to use Deutsche Post’s Express Easy (DHL).
** For security reasons we do not accept Einschreiben or ordinary postage.
** Ordinary mail cannot be tracked, and is not secure.
** Passport Cards do not arrive on the same schedule as passport books.
** You will need to provide a separate stamped, self-addressed envelope for the delivery of your passport card.
** We ask you to bring a pre-paid, pre-addressed DHL Express Easy Brief.
** DHL is the express mail provider of the Deutsche Post. This method ensures the security of your passport and allows you to track the delivery from the time that DHL takes possession of the envelope. Please write down the DHL Tracking Number, as the consulate cannot track the DHL delivery.
