Hello everyone,

I’m probably overthinking… which is why I’d like to ask here: 

What exactly needs to be specified under Place of Issue regarding the passport? The city (Cologne) or the name of the authority (City of Cologne)?

Thank you very much!

Answer summary

Oh now you're giving me anxiety. I didn't put the "Stadt" although it says it on my passport. Let's hope for the best for both of us!

there are instructions to fill in everything in English but at the same time there are instructions to fill in everything exactly as in the passport. That’s why I wasn‘t sure
