Berlin photo studios sell different combinations of prints, files and retrieval codes. Compare ten local providers, their prices and published opening hours, then choose the output and neighbourhood that fit your plans.

Finding Passport Photos While in Berlin

  • Make your passport photo online in Berlin with Rostrio. A digital photo costs …; take and upload your picture from home without a shop appointment.
  • Looking for passport photos while in Berlin? Compare a local studio with Rostrio’s online option, then choose the issuing country, document and output you need. Your location is the starting point for finding a service, rather than a choice of passport nationality. [23][6][17]
  • Foto Kotti lists four prints with a retrieval code and cloud upload at €10. Krupp lists five prints at €15, or prints and a code together at €20. These are different packages, so compare the included output rather than treating every headline price as the same service. [6][9]
  • If you need a personal digital photo file, specify it when ordering. A studio’s retrieval code is a different output from an image emailed to you. Kotti, Meyer, EOM, Malaev and Master Foto list personal-file supplements. [6][2][4][10][12]
  • Check the photo format for the document you have chosen. Ladan lists 51 by 51 mm US prints, Picture World lists foreign visa formats, and several studios offer both prints and files. Bring the actual specification when requesting a particular size. [7][17][2]

Planning a Visit to a Berlin Photo Studio

  • Use the Studio Entrance at Viktoria-Luise-Platz

    Meyer separates its camera shop at Welserstraße 1 from its studio at Viktoria-Luise-Platz 6. Use the studio address for the researched photo package and the studio contact for a requested sitting. [2][3]

  • Avoid Krupp’s Four-Hour Karlshorst Closure

    At Dorotheastraße 4, Krupp closes between 12:00 and 16:00 on weekdays. Its site identifies step-free access from one side; clarify that approach if needed. A lunch-break visit would miss its published sessions. [9]

  • Separate Tegel Evenings from the RiZ-Center Friday

    EOM in Tegel publishes weekday opening until 20:00, with weekends by arrangement. Master Foto in the RiZ-Center closes at 13:00 on Friday. Check the day as well as the neighbourhood before setting off. [4][5][13]

  • Arrange a Saturday Visit to Ladan in Steglitz

    Ladan’s Adolfstraße studio in Steglitz is closed on Thursday. Its Saturday service is by arrangement, so agree the visit before travelling. Use postcode 12167 to distinguish the address from similarly named streets elsewhere in Berlin. [8]

Ten Berlin Photographers and Their Document-Photo Packages

1
Kreuzberg

Foto Kotti: Prints and Authority Upload in Kreuzberg

[6][25]

A walk-in print set that also includes the authority retrieval code [6]

Foto Kotti separates the government-accessible image from a file you can keep. Its four-print €10 offer includes a code and cloud upload, while an emailed personal copy adds €5. Buying that copy is unnecessary merely to let the authority retrieve the uploaded photo. [6]

The studio advertises document photography for different countries and lists several country-specific options. Take the issuing authority’s instructions rather than assuming its standard prints suit another document. The service is walk-in, including Saturday until 15:00. [6]

Skalitzer Straße 134, 10999 BerlinVisit Website
2
Schöneberg

Foto Meyer: Use the Viktoria-Luise-Platz Studio Address

[2][3][27]

Separate published ePass, standard-print and foreign visa products [2][3]

Meyer’s €19.95 E-Pass product includes secure submission and a printed retrieval code. Four actual photo prints cost €5 extra. Its identically priced standard product instead supplies four passport-size prints: the same headline price does not mean the outputs are interchangeable. [2]

The visa package costs €22.95 for four prints and names special formats such as “5x5 cm USA”. Confirm the finished dimensions for the document you have selected. A personal digital file adds €5 per image to the separately listed print/visa products. [2]

Viktoria-Luise-Platz 6, 10777 BerlinVisit Website

Kreuzberg

Picture World: ePass Codes and Foreign Formats on Puttkamerstraße

[17][18][29]

A Kreuzberg option with separately priced baby and foreign visa sittings [17][18]

Picture World’s €18 ePass product includes capture in the studio, checking and a retrieval code. A personal file or a particular number of prints is not listed as included. The same studio separately prices baby and foreign-format photography. [17]

Foreign visa work starts at €20. The studio names US square and Canadian 5 by 7 cm formats, with an optional personal file. Tell the photographer the actual document, finished dimensions and number of prints you want. [17]

Puttkamerstraße 7, 10969 BerlinVisit Website
4
Tegel

Eom Studio: Weekday Evening Opening in Tegel

[4][5][31]

Long published weekday hours in Tegel [4][5]

EOM lists an ePass sitting with a retrieval code at €20 and a €5 supplement for a file, for example by email. Six printed photos are described as optional. Ask for their cost when ordering; the published text does not establish that they are free or included. [4]

The Schulstraße studio publishes 09:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday. Its weekend and holiday service is by arrangement, separate from those regular opening hours. A weekday evening can therefore fit a different schedule from the shorter hours elsewhere, without implying a guaranteed available slot. [4][5]

Schulstraße 13, 13507 BerlinVisit Website
5
Baumschulenweg

Foto Schiemann: ePass Alone or with Four Trimmed Prints

[1][33]

An explicit ePass-plus-four-print choice in Baumschulenweg [1]

Schiemann’s current ePass list has two clear choices: €15 for the ePass product or €18 with four trimmed photographic prints. Compare those named products separately from the ordinary “Passbilder” tariffs shown elsewhere on the page. [1]

Its own timetable starts Thursday at 10:00 and lists Saturday 10:00 to 14:00. The fresh map listing disagrees, showing Thursday 11:00 and Saturday closed. The table follows the business for those days; check directly before travelling on Saturday. [1][33]

Baumschulenstraße 87, 12437 BerlinVisit Website
6
Steglitz

Fotostudio Ladan: Exact US Dimensions in Steglitz

[7][8][35]

An explicitly measured US print package and a separate baby-photo tariff [7][8]

Ladan’s wording matters: €25 buys a biometric ePass photo with a QR code OR four prints. It does not promise both for that amount. A personal file adds €10, while its separately listed baby-passport-photo sitting is €25. [7]

For US work, the studio explicitly lists four 51 by 51 mm passport/visa prints at €25. Bring the size and output specification for your chosen document. The address is Adolfstraße in Steglitz, postcode 12167; use the postcode when planning the visit. [7][8]

Adolfstraße 1, 12167 BerlinVisit Website
7
Karlshorst

Fotostudio Krupp: Plan Around the Karlshorst Lunch Closure

[9][37]

A stated step-free entrance and clearly separated code/print prices [9]

Krupp offers a €15 digital-code sitting, five prints for €15, or both for €20. Its print examples include driving-licence and health-card photos. Choose the output you want before the sitting, particularly if you need both a printed set and a retrieval code. [9]

The studio photographs babies and offers other sizes to supplied specifications. Its site confirms step-free access on one side, useful to clarify before arrival. Opening is split into 10:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays; a lunchtime stop would miss both sessions. [9]

Dorotheastraße 4, 10318 BerlinVisit Website

Schöneberg

Fotografie Malaev: Distinguish Six Prints from the ePass Service

[10][11][39]

Different file, six-print and secure-transfer choices near Nollendorfplatz [10][11]

Malaev separates its German ePass service from the six-print standard product. Either has a €15 headline price, with email delivery €5 extra when added. A file-only standard photo is also €15. Specify whether you need authority access, personal ownership of a file or prints. [10]

The Kleiststraße business identifies Nollendorfplatz as its transport reference. Its special-format tariff ranges from €15 to €20 without identifying every document in that price band. Confirm dimensions and outputs directly instead of assuming the standard 35 by 45 mm set is universal. [10][11]

Kleiststraße 41, 10787 BerlinVisit Website
9
Neu-Hohenschönhausen

Master Foto: a Shorter Friday at the RiZ-Center

[12][13][41]

A walk-in ePass service inside the RiZ-Center [12][13]

Master Foto’s €18.50 tariff is labelled “E-Passfoto digital mit QR-Code (4 Stück)”. Request the prints when ordering, as the studio’s service note describes them as available on request. Specify a personal image file separately if you also want one. [12]

A personal photo file costs €5 extra. Four additional photos within the same order cost €4, while a later four-photo reorder costs €6.50. The Ribnitzer Straße premises close at 13:00 on Friday; the longer Monday to Thursday opening cannot be assumed for that day. [12][13]

Ribnitzer Straße 24, RiZ-Center, 13051 BerlinVisit Website
10
Alt-Hohenschönhausen

Foto Koenig: Arrange the Degnerstraße Sitting by Email

[16]

An email-booked portrait service rather than a walk-in counter [14][15]

Koenig lists four biometric passport portraits from €15, with ePass marked “plus 3€”. Treat these as a starting tariff and supplement, not an unconditional fixed-price code-and-print bundle. Non-European formats, including US or Indian visa work, are by arrangement. [14]

The current homepage restricts customer service and portrait sessions to agreed appointments, requested exclusively by email. Use the Degnerstraße studio address after confirmation. The equipment-repair mailing instructions elsewhere on the homepage are a different service and are not directions for a photo sitting. [16][15]

Passport Photos for Your Chosen Country from Berlin

Choose the Country and Document Online from Berlin

Need a passport photo for your home country or another issuing country while staying in Berlin? Open Rostrio from your home, hotel or accommodation, choose that country and the document, and follow the photo instructions. The online service covers issuing countries worldwide; Berlin is simply where you are arranging the photograph. [23]

Tell the Photographer the Format and Output You Want

For a studio visit, take the document’s size and output specification with you. Ladan publishes a four-print 51 by 51 mm US passport/visa package, while Picture World lists US square and Canadian 5 by 7 cm formats. Ask for the number of prints and any personal file you want as part of that order. [7][17]

Compare the Finished Output Alongside the Price

Choose between a file, prints and a combination before the sitting. Meyer lists separate standard-print and visa products; Malaev lists a six-print product, a file-only option and an email supplement. A retrieval code and a personal file have different uses, so name the output explicitly. [2][10][6]

Choosing a Berlin Neighbourhood for Your Photo

Kreuzberg: Skalitzer Straße or Puttkamerstraße

Kotti on Skalitzer Straße supplies prints and secure upload in one quoted package. Picture World on Puttkamerstraße separates its ePass, baby and foreign visa sittings. Choose between these Kreuzberg addresses by your required output and the day’s hours, rather than assuming every studio’s “digital” service means the same thing. [6][17][18]

Schöneberg and Steglitz: Match the Address to the Package

Meyer’s Viktoria-Luise-Platz studio and Malaev’s Kleiststraße address provide two Schöneberg choices. Malaev identifies Nollendorfplatz as its local transport reference. In Steglitz, Ladan supplies the explicitly measured US package, but closes Thursday and requires arrangements for Saturday. [3][11][7][8]

Eastern Berlin and Tegel: Avoid Assuming One Shop Timetable

The eastern choices have different purposes: Schiemann in Baumschulenweg for ePass with optional four prints, Krupp in Karlshorst for the code/five-print combination and Master Foto in Neu-Hohenschönhausen for its RiZ-Center counter. Koenig in Alt-Hohenschönhausen requires advance email agreement. Tegel’s EOM adds long weekday hours in the northwest. [1][9][13][16][5]

Choosing a Format for Your Passport Photo

From the Issuing Authority

A Square US Passport-Photo Format

For US passport photos, the published square print dimensions are 2 by 2 inches, or 51 by 51 mm. Ladan explicitly lists four 51 by 51 mm US passport/visa prints at €25. Meyer’s visa list uses the label “5x5 cm USA”; ask for the exact finished dimensions when placing your order. [20][7][2]

Open the Official Information
From the Issuing Authority

The Taller Canadian Passport-Photo Format

The Canadian passport photo format is 50 mm wide by 70 mm high. Picture World lists 5 by 7 cm foreign-format photography, with its visa work starting at €20. Specify the exact passport product, print quantity and any additional output when discussing your sitting. [21][17]

Open the Official Information
From the Issuing Authority

British Print Size and Digital Output

For British passport photos on paper, the published dimensions are 35 by 45 mm. Malaev lists six prints in that size at €15. An online order uses a digital output instead, so choose the document and output before comparing studio packages or starting with Rostrio. [22][10][23]

Berlin Passport Photo Questions

What Do Passport Photos Cost in Berlin?

Foto Kotti lists four prints with a retrieval code and upload at €10. Krupp lists five prints at €15, or prints and a code at €20. Malaev lists six 35 by 45 mm prints at €15. These are observed package prices rather than a city average or a quality ranking. [6][9][10]

Can I Order Passport Photos Online While in Berlin?

Yes. Start Rostrio from your home or accommodation in Berlin, select the issuing country and document, follow the photo instructions and upload your picture. Choose the output you need and compare the current order and delivery options. The service covers issuing countries worldwide. [23]

Do Berlin Passport Photo Studios Require Appointments?

Several researched services accept walk-ins, including Kotti, Picture World, Schiemann, Krupp and Master Foto. Koenig is appointment-only by email. EOM recommends booking but also allows spontaneous visits; weekends are by arrangement. Check the exact business’s published week before setting off. [6][17][1][9][13][16][5]

Is a Retrieval Code the Same as a Personal Digital File?

A retrieval code and a personal image file are different products. Kotti explicitly charges €5 for a personal emailed copy. Meyer, Malaev and Master Foto also distinguish their products and file supplements. Say whether you need prints, a personal file or a code when ordering. [6][2][10][12]

Where Can I Arrange a Baby’s Passport Photo in Berlin?

For a baby’s photo, Picture World lists a €25 sitting and recommends calling first; Ladan also lists baby photographs at €25. Krupp confirms that it photographs babies. Discuss the setup and the required format directly with the studio before visiting. [17][7][9]
