Change of surname due to the declaration on the name of spouses

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

There are many possibilities for determining the name. In some cases there are also particularities to be considered, e.g. for the naming of foreign spouses or if there are joint children born before the marriage. You should therefore seek advice from the registry office in these cases in particular. You can also request an information sheet from many registry offices by telephone or e-mail, or view or print it out from your local authority's website.

As spouses, you can keep your previous names. When the first child is born, you must then decide whether the child is to be given your name or that of your spouse as the name at birth. This declaration then also applies to the other children.

You also have the option, either at the time of marriage or at a later date - there is no time limit for this - of designating the maiden name or the name actually used by your spouse as the married name. The name from a previous marriage, including any accompanying name, can also be considered as the name actually used.

The determination of the married name is irrevocable. Children receive the married name of their parents.
