Only the place of residence is noted in the passport, not the full address. This information must be updated if your place of residence in Germany changes. If you move within the same town or city, no change is necessary.

The change of place of residence in the passport can be made in person or by a person authorized in writing at the relevant citizens' office at the new place of residence.

Alternatively, if your local authority offers online residence registration, you can update your address using this digital procedure. In this case, the corresponding address sticker for the passport will be sent to you by post so that you do not need to appear in person.

If you move abroad, the new place of residence can also be entered in the passport. If your final place of residence abroad has not yet been determined, you can have your current place of residence entered.
