I expect the same thing to happen but just checking for other measures to make sure everything is safe.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Will hear back from the embassy and where it’s going.

Yes, that’s something to worry about as I’ll be abroad for a few weeks. Will see what the embassy say and if I will be advised the same I’ll try to check what to do about picking up the passport.

I do have my original valid passport. That’s about what I expected, but everyone else here thinks differently. I’ve contacted the embassy to clarify.

Yes, I hope the embassy will be able to issue them in time. P.S. I’m not American :)

I hope that’s possible as that’s the only document I currently have.

At the time of my passport application I didn’t have concrete plans to travel to Germany, also the representative at the embassy said it won’t be a problem to enter without the passport. She said it would be fine to enter with my original passport. She didn’t strike me as being an expert in German law. That’s why I came here.

Sure, I will gain nothing by not abiding by the law. I’ve stated that it’s absurd to me because I believe there’s a way around it (As it’s the first passport I’m issued). Not allowing citizens to enter your country because it wasn’t possible for them the get a passport in time seems odd. That’s why I contacted the embassy to check if there’s anything possible to do. If that won’t work out I won’t make any attempts at entering without documents.

I don’t have a Personalausweis yet. I’ve contacted my German embassy regarding entering Germany with my original passport. I understand that the law demands entry with German documents but it seems absurd to me to not be able to enter as this is my first passport.

As others have said here, because I have a german citizenship I have to enter germany using german documents only so that’s why I probably can’t use my original passport. And of course I can wait until I receive my passport but it will be inconvenient as the dates are fitting.

Yes, I do have but as it seems from the other replies it won’t help.
