New image recording device in the residents' registration office replaces paper photos for ID documents
Riedstadt. A new image recording device of the Federal Printing Eye is now in use in the residents' registration and passport office of the Büchnerstadt Riedstadt. This enables citizens to have digital, biometric passport photos taken for their ID documents on site. The fee for this is uniformly 6 euros - in addition to the regular costs for identity card or passport.
The basis for the changeover is a nationwide regulation: from May 1, 2025, ID authorities may only accept digital photographs . Paper photos are a thing of the past - also in Riedstadt.
External photographers also possible-with certified cloud connection
If you prefer to have your passport photo made with an external photographer, you can still do so. However, it is a prerequisite that the service provider Hochlädt the photo into a cloud Hochdt certified by the Federal Office for Information Technology (BSI) and issues a QR code for the official takeover. An overview of suitable photographers can be found at:

Notes on use for children and babies
The new recording device in Riedstadt is a stand device and designed for people from about 1.20 meters. Aids such as stools are available for smaller children. In infants, the office recommends to switch to photographers with a certified cloud connection, since admission to the office is not technically possible.
