Request a change of address in the electronic proof of identity

Description

The electronic proof of identity is the online identification function of your identity card, your electronic residence permit or the eID card for EU citizens, with which you can, for example, carry out digital administrative procedures or identify yourself on the Internet for online services.
If your address changes, you will need to have the address on these documents changed.
You can apply for a change of address on the chip of your identity card or eID card for EU citizens either online (if the local government at your new place of residence offers an electronic residence registration) or in person at the Citizens' Registration Office at your new place of residence. You can have the address on the chip of the electronic residence permit changed in person at the Foreigners' Registration Office at your new place of residence.
