The Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt publishes its whole fee schedule in euros, and separately publishes exactly who it serves, which is the question that decides whether you should be going there at all.
The seven states
The Consulate exercises consular jurisdiction over the following seven (7) German federal states, namely: Bavaria, Baden-Wurttemberg, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarbrucken and Thuringia.
As of 31 December 2025 the Consulate estimates 34,160 Filipinos living in those seven states, citing Destatis, the Federal Statistical Office.
Everything else in Germany belongs to the Embassy in Berlin. The two publish the same fee schedule, so this is a question of jurisdiction, not of price. The Berlin Embassy guide covers that post.
Passport and travel document
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Issuance of e-Passport, new or renewal | EUR 60 |
| Replacement of lost e-Passport | EUR 150 |
| Issuance of travel document | EUR 30 |
| Expedite fee | EUR 10 |
A lost passport costs EUR 90 more than a renewal, which is 2.5 times the price. That is arithmetic on the schedule.
The passport renewal abroad guide covers the requirements common to every post.
Authentication, notarial and civil registry
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Solemnization of marriage | EUR 60 |
| Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage, with sworn statement | EUR 50 |
| Application for marriage licence | EUR 50 |
| Issuance of marriage licence | EUR 25 |
| Reports of birth, marriage and death | EUR 25 |

| Authentication | EUR 25 |
| Correction of clerical errors | EUR 50 |
| Change of first name | EUR 150 |
| Certification | EUR 25 |
| Certified true copy | EUR 25 |
EUR 25 is the unit most of this is built from. Changing a first name at EUR 150 is 6 times that unit and 3 times the cost of correcting a clerical error.

|---|---|
| Re-acquisition of Philippine citizenship under RA 9225, principal | EUR 50 |

What this page does not cover
The pages read for this guide publish fees and jurisdiction but not processing times, documentary checklists, office hours or the appointment system, so none is stated here. The Consulate publishes a Citizen’s Charter separately, which was not read for this guide.

Frequently asked questions

- EUR 60 for a new or renewed ePassport, and EUR 150 to replace a lost one. A travel document is EUR 30. The rate column on the Consulate's fee page is headed Current Rate in EUR, so these are euros, not dollars.

- Should I go to Frankfurt or Berlin?
- It depends which state you live in. Frankfurt is the Consulate General covering those seven states. The Embassy in Berlin covers the rest of Germany. The fee schedules are identical, so the choice is about jurisdiction, not price.
