Explanation of the order of the first names

If the name of the person or the company name to which a vehicle is registered changes, this must be entered in the vehicle documents.

If you move within Munich, move to Munich or your address has changed, you should have the address changed in your identity documents.

If you move to Munich, you must register as soon as possible - even if you are re-registering within the city. The law stipulates 14 days.

Anyone wishing to leave the church, religious community or ideological community can declare this to the registry office or notary.

A first name or family name may only be changed if an "important reason" (Name Change Act) justifies the change.

Your personal details have changed following a marriage, divorce or change of name abroad. You must have this entered in the register of residents.

After a name change, we recommend exchanging the driving licence (especially when travelling abroad), but it is not mandatory.

If you move abroad, give up a secondary residence or no longer have a permanent residence, you must deregister.

If you are moving to Munich as a family, you must register within 14 days - even if you are moving within the city.

If you or family members use other flats in Munich in addition to your main residence, you must pay second home tax.
