Explanation of the order of the first names

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.

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

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

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

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

If your total positive income was less than 29,000 euros two years ago, you can be exempted from the second home tax for the current year.

If you have already registered your new place of residence but the address in your identity document has not yet been updated, you can do so here.

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.
