German passports are valid for ten years (for people older than 24) or six years (for people until the age of 24) and share the standardised layout and burgundy red design with other EU passports except it has hard cover.

A German passport of 32-page, delivered within a month, issued to a person 24 years and older costs €60. A passport for a person under the age of 24 which has a validity of six years costs €37.50. A 48-page passport costs a premium of €22, express delivery a premium of €32.
