Which place to enter?

The location is used to determine the responsible office for the selected administrative service. In most cases you can enter your place of residence to find the competent authority. However, there are also cases in which a different location must be specified. Here are some examples:

Birth certificateYou want to get married and need a birth certificate. You live in Hanover, but you were born in Celle. You must therefore state your place of birth, i.e. Celle.

Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Passport issuance new due to change of other data

Read aloud

You need a passport if you want to travel to a country outside the European Union (EU). The passport allows you to enter over 170 countries worldwide as a tourist without a visa.

If you have a passport and certain data changes, you must apply for a new travel document.

You will need a new passport if the following details change:

  • Surname
  • maiden name
  • First name
  • Date of birth details
  • Details of place of birth
  • Gender details
  • Even if you are no longer clearly recognizable in the photo, you will need a new passport.

Procedure if you change your place of residence

The place of residence is also entered in your passport, but not the exact address. The details of your place of residence in your passport must be changed if your place of residence in Germany changes. As a rule, you do not need to apply for a new passport for this, but simply have your passport changed. You only need to apply for a new passport if it is not possible to enter another change of residence in your passport due to a lack of space.

Who should I contact?

Responsibility lies with the municipality, the joint municipality and the town in which the main residence is located.
