A new passport is required after a change of name when getting married or entering into a civil partnership.
A new passport only needs to be issued if the passport is still being used.
The applicant must appear in person to apply for a passport (e-passport). The application is completed on the spot with the processor. The applicant only has to sign the application.
Responsibility lies with the municipality and the city in which the main residence is located.

You cannot take your passport with you immediately after submitting your application, as it is produced at the Federal Printing Office in Berlin. If the passport is needed earlier, an express passport can be applied for.
If a trip abroad is planned immediately after the marriage or the establishment of a civil partnership, a new passport can be applied for before the marriage or the establishment of the civil partnership; in any case, it will only be issued after the marriage or the establishment of the civil partnership and once the documents supporting the name have been submitted.
When applying for the documents, suitable documents from the registry office for the marriage are required.
