This service facilitates the issuance of a new Tazkira (National ID) as well as corrections to name, surname, and year of birth for Afghan nationals residing within our consular jurisdiction. All requests under this category are processed in-absentia, meaning the applicant applies from Munich while a designated direct relative acts on their behalf inside Afghanistan.

Please be aware that the Consulate General of Afghanistan in Munich provides Tazkira services exclusively to residents of:

  • Bavaria (Bayern)

  • Baden-Württemberg

Applicants residing in other German federal states must direct their Tazkira inquiries to the Afghan representations in Berlin or Bonn. Applications submitted to Munich from outside these two states will be returned unprocessed.
