What it means in plain English

Passport. Your passport, which is the main identity and travel document used for visa, registration, and permit processes.

Common confusion

A residence card or registration certificate does not replace your Reisepass for international identity and visa purposes. For many immigration and border procedures, the passport remains the core document.
