eID card for EU/EEA citizens - Apply for a change of address

eID-Karte für EU/EWR-Bürger/innen - Änderung der Adresse beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
If your address changes, you must also have the address updated on the electronic storage medium (chip) of your eID card. Your address is changed only on the chip of your eID card, because the card itself has no printed address. The eID card for EU/EEA citizens is a chip card that lets you prove your identity electronically. With the eID card, you can identify yourself online securely, easily and at a high level of trust, and handle administrative errands as well as business matters digitally. Procedure 1. Submit an application for a change of address. This can only be done in person, on site, at the Meldebehörde (registration authority / Bürgeramt, citizens' office). 2. The registration authority then changes your address on the electronic storage medium (chip) of your eID card.
