Request identity card issuance due to name change (marriage or divorce)

Has your name changed due to a name change (marriage or divorce)? Then you must immediately apply for your identity card and, if you need it, a passport with your new name.

Identity documents with your old name are invalid.

Please note:
You can also fulfill your identification obligation by having a valid passport issued in your real name. If this is not possible, you must apply for a new identity document.

Note: If you are getting married, you can apply for new identity documents at the earliest eight weeks before the marriage. Please bring the certificate from the registry office confirming the date of the marriage and the future name.
