Child passport change due to address change

Service Description

If you move from another city or municipality, you must have your child's new place of residence entered in his or her child passport without delay.

Attention. In case of a name change, a new child passport is required.

Process flow

Appear in person at the passport office of the city or municipal government of the new place of residence to arrange for the change of the child's passport.

Tip: As a rule, you can have the change of residence in the passport made at the same time as the registration, since the municipality is both the registration and passport authority.
