You must also apply for a new identity card if you are over 16 and do not have a valid passport document, i.e. a passport or temporary passport. You can do this at the Bürgeramt at your main place of residence.
If you do not apply for your new identity card at your main residence, you need an important reason. In addition, a surcharge of EUR 13.00 will be added to the fee. If you contact your chosen Bürgeramt beforehand, you can find out whether and to what extent the Bürgeramt recognises your reason.
