STEPS TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO REPORT OTHER CHANGES:
1. Prepare the necessary documents
In order to report the change you will need:
- Travel document
- Proof of the change
- Form for notification of changes
Please review the formal requirements that the documents must meet.
2. Fill in the form for notification of changes
You can fill in the application form online. Then print out the filled-in form and sign it.
You can also download a blank application form, print it out and fill it in by hand, or you can collect the form free of charge at one of the offices of the Ministry of the Interior. The form must be filled in legibly, in block capitals and in Latin characters.
3. Send the form or make an appointment at a Ministry of the Interior office
You can report other changes personally at a Ministry of the Interior office, send it by post, Data Box or by e-mail with an advanced electronic signature, or you can submit it through an authorised representative.
If you want to report the change by post, you can check whether it has been made on our hotline. In this case, it is recommended to call the hotline no sooner than a week after the form was sent as it takes a few days to process the incoming post. If for procedural reasons you are required to come to the office in person, the Ministry of the Interior employees will contact you by phone or in writing. If you wish to make the notification in person, please make an appointment online or by phone beforehand. If the offered appointment slot is after your time limit for notification of the change expires, send the documents by post, Data Box or by e-mail with an advanced electronic signature, or visit a Ministry of the Interior office during opening hours without an appointment. With no appointment reservation, you have to wait your turn. If you fail to report the change within the time limit, you can be fined.
