The file of the Stuttgart Passakten is not a collection of archival material, but rather an archival finding aid that indexes the passacts of the years 1914-1922 in stock F 201 (Stadtdirektion Stuttgart) and 1923-1944 in stock F 215 (Polizeipräsidium Stuttgart). The file goes back to a card index of 41 boxes, which was retroconverted by auxiliaries until 2011. The volumes dating back to 1914, which were not fully recorded in the index, were subsequently recorded. The 1914 cut was chosen because of the passport requirement introduced this year. Contents and evaluation In the file F 215 a the following archives are indexed by name: F 201 Bü 411-601 F 215 Bü 1-623 If there are several first names, the first name is the first. The place of birth is entered in the 'Last department' field. The passport files usually contain the application for a passport, usually with a photograph of the applicant, as well as the expired old passport that has been confiscated. The old passport contains information on travel activities, such as entry and exit stamps. The passports of the volumes 1849-1913 (F 201 Bü 382-410, summarized in the finding aid F 201) and the passport duplicates in fonds F 201 D are not included in the file.
