Make identity card notifications

Service Description

The data on your ID card must always be up to date, otherwise it will become invalid. In addition, as a German citizen, you are obliged to have an ID card from the age of 16.
You are therefore obliged to notify the Citizens' Registration Office of the following:

  • name changes
  • if you have lost your identity card
  • if your identity card has been stolen
  • if you have found your ID card again after reporting it lost
  • Note: You can also report the loss or theft of your ID card to the police.

There are 2 exceptions:

  • If your address or height changes, your ID card remains valid.
  • If you do not comply with the obligation to register a new address within Germany, you are committing an offense.
