Change order of first names
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzYou can have the order of several first names changed since November 1, 2018, without giving reasons. The prerequisite for this is that your name is subject to German law. This includes not only German nationals, but also persons entitled to asylum, foreign refugees and stateless persons.
The only exception: in the case of first names with a hyphen, such as Hans-Peter, the order determined by the parents must be retained.
Note: If you would like to have your first name changed for important or serious reasons, this can only be done via a change of name under public law. Changing the spelling and adding or omitting first names is otherwise still not permitted in official documents.
You must declare the change in the order of your first names in writing:
- Find out from your competent office whether you should have the declaration notarized or notarized and whether an appointment must be made.
- Then go to the office responsible for you with all the necessary documents and arrange for the order of your first names to be changed.
Note: Once this change has taken effect, you will need to have various documents (for example, ID card or passport) changed accordingly. You must apply for these changes yourself.
