| Jul 16, 2023 at 17:34 | comment | added | Robyn | The airline is Condor. The phrasing "Passport issued in" is not my translation, but the exact wording they use (I am accessing the US English version of their site.) I just logged in to the (presumably original) German version of the site, where it says "Reisepass ausgestellt in" for this field. | |

| Jul 16, 2023 at 11:55 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @phoog passports are issued at the local registration office. If you live outside of Germany, you register at the consulate. The printing office recieves a printable document. Once the passport is printed and sent to the registry office the contained fingerprints are deleted. A querey can be made to the registry office for confirmation that someone is who they say they are for an emergency passport. | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 11:28 | comment | added | phoog | @MarkJohnson so how does a German consular officer in Japan investigate the authenticity of a German passport presented for example in connection with an application for a new passport? Surely they have access to database records. The fact that all of the passports are printed in one location only makes it easier for these records to be centralized because production is also centralized. (Though I suspect your assertion does not hold for emergency passports and that these are also entered into a database.) | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 11:01 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @phoog Xou are forgetting that there are many countries that don't have (and don't want) a system that 'instantly centralized in an electronic database'. In Germany they are only printed at the Federal Printing Office and sent back to the issuing authority. | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 10:53 | comment | added | jcaron | Which airline and destination country? What is the actual language of the question (and the actual wording, if not English)? I wouldn’t be surprised if this was something that was incorrectly translated, especially as it might involve two or more translations along the way. | |

| Jul 16, 2023 at 9:30 | comment | added | phoog | @MarkJohnson the identity of the office where the passport was issued was traditionally one of the data points collected to identify documents. I suppose that this dates to a time before records were instantly centralized in an electronic database. With the advent of technologically sophisticated passports, of course, the documents are increasingly being produced in centralized facilities rather than on consular premises, and countries are increasingly reflecting this by listing the responsible government ministry in the "issuing authority" field rather than an individual office or consulate. | |

| Jul 16, 2023 at 9:00 | comment | added | Traveller | Which airline? Do all airlines ask the exact same question, using the exact phrase passport issued in? If yes, there should/must be a standard answer. If no, the only way to find out for sure what the airline means by the question is to ask the airline (and then post an answer here). A quick google search shows eg TUI does not ask this question tui.co.uk/destinations/info/faq/advance-passenger-information | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 5:59 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | Because they want to know who and where the passport was issued. | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 2:29 | comment | added | Doc | @MarkJohnson Then why does the question exist at all? | |
| Jul 16, 2023 at 1:10 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | Ask the question: why would they be interested in where the passport was originally printed? What usefull information about the passport holder does that bring? | |
