Explanation of the order of the first names

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

If you have already left the church and have to prove this to an authority, you will need a certificate of your departure from the church.
