Confirmed reception points: 8Documents and requirementsA name change and your documents
After an official name change, plan passport replacements and updates to related records.
This route describes the general procedure. Some steps depend on your circumstances and may involve different authorities. Check the current requirements for each service before applying.
Getting started
This route starts once you have formal evidence of the change, such as a marriage or name-change certificate. Follow only the subsequent procedures relevant to the documents you hold.
What to do
-
Check evidence of the name change
Check the new spelling and dates in the supporting document. If the change is not yet official, first ask the civil registry about the appropriate procedure.
-
Arrange a national passport replacement
Choose ID-card exchange for an existing ID, or the appropriate booklet-to-ID procedure. Submit the name-change evidence and the national passport being replaced.
-
Arrange an international passport replacement
If applicableIf you hold an international passport, check replacement and consistent Latin spelling. Ask the chosen office whether both passports can be processed together.
-
Update tax and related records
Check how to update taxpayer details. Follow the procedures of your bank and other organisations that use the previous details.
-
Replace a driving licence if held
If applicablePrepare your updated identity document, existing licence and name-change evidence. Check the available Ministry of Internal Affairs, Diia or confirmed CNAP route.
-
Update sole proprietor records if applicable
If applicableCheck your sole proprietor details in the Unified State Register and apply for changes if needed. A passport replacement does not confirm that every business record has been updated.
Document checklist
Tick the documents you have prepared. This is a general checklist: items marked “If applicable” are only needed in the relevant circumstances. Check the service requirements for the final document list. You do not need to upload documents to this website.
Things to consider
- National passport replacement after a name change has a prescribed deadline; the migration service states one month. Confirm the application deadline promptly.
- An office offering passport services is not thereby confirmed to offer driving-licence or business procedures.
Continue to individual procedures
The “A name change and your documents” route connects several applications. Open the relevant procedure for your next step and check where to apply; optional actions depend on your circumstances. Checklist ticks help you organise preparation and do not confirm that an institution has completed an action.
