Leistungsbeschreibung
There are many options when determining the name in a registered civil partnership. You can determine the birth name or the name actually used by your partner as the common name of the civil partnership. The name from a previous civil partnership or marriage, including any accompanying name, can also be considered as the name actually used.
In some cases, special features must also be taken into account, e.g. if a civil partner has a foreign nationality.
Once you have chosen a common name for a civil partnership, you may not change it during the partnership.
Pre-register in person at the registrar's office.
Please contact the registry office of your place of residence. The registry office where the civil partnership was established will check the effectiveness of the submitted name declaration and issue a certificate or certificate of the name change.
