The relevant declarations must be made in person at the registry office. An appointment is required for this. An appointment can be requested at the registry office using the "Change of name for children" form. To change the order of first names, please use the "Change of order of first names" form.
Children between the ages of five and thirteen must consent to the name change; this can also be done by the child's legal representatives. Children between the ages of fourteen and seventeen can only make the name declaration themselves; they require the consent of their legal representatives.
