Have a new address entered on your ID card
Description
If your address has changed, for example after moving house, you must have your new address entered on your ID card. This involves changing the chip on your ID card and affixing a sticker with your new address to your ID card.
Even if you move abroad, no longer have an address in Germany and your address abroad has not yet been determined, your ID card must be changed. The address sticker will then state that you no longer have an address in Germany.
- Your identity card is valid.
- You have already registered your new address with your local registration office.
- valid identity card
- current confirmation of registration
There are no costs.
You must have your new address changed on your identity card within 2 weeks of moving into your new main residence.

- Action for annulment
- Compulsory action
This is the responsibility of the municipality and the city you have moved to.
- You register in person at the Citizens' Registration Office at your new place of residence.
- You present your valid ID card and your registration confirmation.
- The Citizens' Registration Office at your new place of residence will change the address in the chip on your ID card and affix a sticker with your new address to your ID card.
- You can authorize another person in writing to change the address on your ID card at the Citizens' Registration Office at your new place of residence.
- If your municipality offers the re-registration as a digital service (electronic residence registration), you can also use this. With digital re-registration, the address data stored on the chip is updated digitally. You will receive the sticker for your ID card by post.
