Have your identity card changed
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe 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.
Please contact the identity card authority in your place of residence.
The identification requirement applies to you if you:
- have German citizenship
- have reached the age of 16
- are registered in Germany
If you have a valid passport and all the data contained in your passport is up to date, applying for an ID card is voluntary.
The following applies to applications outside your main place of residence:
- You must be able to provide an important reason why you are not applying for an ID card at the ID card authority at your main place of residence.
- identity card
- Birth or marriage certificate, if applicable
- Biometric passport photo, if applicable
A fee reduction or exemption is possible under certain conditions.

If the data on your ID card is no longer up to date, you must have this changed as soon as possible.
Period of Validity: 6 Years
Period of Validity: 10 Years
The change of address on your ID card is made immediately by the Citizens' Registration Office.
If you apply for a new ID card, it usually takes at least 2 weeks before you can collect it from the Citizens' Registration Office.
If your ID card is stolen or lost, you must report this to the police or a citizens' office. In this case, the authorities will officially report the online ID card to the blocking hotline and arrange for it to be blocked.
