Apply for a change of residence in your passport
The place of residence is noted in your passport. If your place of residence in Germany changes, you must have the new place of residence entered in your passport. If your new address is in the same place of residence, you do not need to have your passport amended.
Description
Only the place of residence is entered in your passport, not the exact address. The place of residence in your passport only needs to be changed if your place of residence in Germany changes.
You can have the place of residence entry in your passport changed in person or by a person authorized in writing at the authority responsible for you at your new place of residence.
If you move abroad and have a new place of residence there, you can have your place of residence entered abroad. If your place of residence abroad has not yet been determined, you can have your current place of residence entered.
