Have your identity card changed

Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-Pfalz

The data on your ID card must always be up to date. Data that may change, for example

  • Surname due to marriage with change of name
  • Address due to a move to another main residence
  • Change of first name(s) due to a declaration under the Self-Determination Act

Changes to the data on your ID card, with the exception of your address or height, mean that you will need a new ID card.

You apply for your new ID card at the ID card office at your main place of residence. This is usually the Citizens' Registration Office.
You can also apply at any other citizens' office if you can provide an important reason.
Please clarify in advance with the authority of your choice under which conditions this is possible.
There is also a so-called incompetence surcharge.

If you change your address, you do not need a new ID card, but the chip on your ID card must be changed and the address field on the back must be covered with the new address.
You can do this at the citizens' office of the town or municipality where you have your new main residence.
In some municipalities, you can apply for the change of address digitally (electronic registration of residence), which makes a visit to the citizens' office superfluous.
