Have your identity card brought up to date
Your data on your identity card must always be up to date. You can apply for a new one at your identity card authority at your main place of residence. This is usually the citizens' registration office.
You can also apply to any other identity card authority if you can show good cause. Please clarify the recognition of your reason in advance with the authority you have chosen. There is a lack of jurisdiction surcharge. This means that you will have to pay more for your new identity card.
If you change your address, you do not need a new identity card, but you must still present it at the Bürgeramt at your main place of residence. When you do so, the authorities will note the new address on a sticker on the back of the ID card. They will also change the address in the chip of the ID card.
