Driver's license - name change

Prerequisites

You have your main residence in Jena.

The change of name has already been noted at the registration office. You are already in possession of an identity card / passport with a new name (also temporary identity card / passport).

Submitting an application

It is not possible to apply by proxy, as the card driving license contains your signature, which must be provided at the time of application.

You must apply for the replacement document in person. You do not need to fill out an application form. It will be prepared by us and simply signed by you.
