The German Embassy in Tallinn is the formal communication link between the German and the Estonian governments. The Ambassador heads the Embassy and is the official representative to Estonia of the German Government. The Embassy fulfills the role of a German public authority when it comes to consular and migration-related matters, which include issuance of passports and different kinds of certificates, visas for students, residence and work permits as well as assistance to Germans in emergency situations.

German Embassies and Consulates can do the following:

• advise on how to transfer money through a bank or other money transfer company (such as Western Union),
• transfer funds to help those in distress,
• help victims of sudden illness, accidents and crimes so that they can get the medical care or other immediate assistance they need,
• grant a temporary passport for repatriation (to replace a passport which is outdated or which has been lost, stolen or destroyed),
• contact the insurance company in cases of sickness or death,
• help those in distress or crisis situations, or those taken into custody, to get in touch with their next of kin

Please note that all passport applicants have to make an appointment early in advance. Passport applicants are required to apply in person and bring the application form as well as relevant documents after making an appointment. Where minors are concerned, both the parents and the guardian of the applicant must be present at the appointment.

German citizens should be registered at the Registry of a German municipality. Registration permits the exercise of all the rights and duties of a citizen depending on each individual situation. The German citizen is obliged to inform his/her municipality, as well as the Consulate, of all registry data changes such as marital status, citizenship, address, etc.

If a person has lost his/her passport or the passport has been stolen the person will need to report this to the authority that issued this passport (e.g. if your passport was issued in Berlin you will have to report the lost/stolen passport to the passport office in Berlin). Please only send the application form to the Embassy in Tallinn if one's lost/stolen passport was issued in Tallinn.
