Residence permit - carry-over

If you have received a new passport, a new electronic residence permit must be issued. This simply reissues the original residence title without re-examining the conditions for issuance. A residence permit is reissued with the original validity.

The residence permit is not extended. A separate appointment for the application for a residence permit is necessary for this.

Please make an appointment in advance using the online appointment form.

To make an appointment, you must be registered with your main residence in Jena.

Register with the appointment code

You will receive an appointment code with your appointment. If you are not on time, the appointment will be cancelled. Half an hour before the appointment you can register at the multilingual registration terminal of the Foreigners' Registration Office with the appointment code. You do not need to pull a ticket!

Appointment confirmation is considered a fictitious certificate

If you make your appointment via our online appointment system, you will receive a fictitious certificate which you can print out together with the binding appointment confirmation. This certificate is valid in Germany and bridges the time until the appointment.
