Are German emergency and temporary passports valid for travel to the U.S?

As of May 1, 2006, German emergency and temporary passports are no longer valid for visa-free travel to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program. Holders of these passports who intend to travel to or through the United States must first obtain a U.S. visa. For this reason, we recommend that Germans with urgent travel plans consider applying for an “Expresspass,” which is a normal, biometric German Reisepass, valid for visa-free travel, and normally issued within five working days.
