Marriage/ Partnership 💍

When getting married or entering into a civil partnership, it’s fairly common for a person to take on their partner’s second name by either adding it to their original name, or by replacing their original second name altogether.

In order to change your legal name based on marriage or partnership, you can provide one of the below mentioned documents to our Support department

Required documents

Official request 📄

You may also simply wish to change your legal name by choice. The process of doing that is almost the same in every European country.

To start with, you’ll have to request your name change in the local court. After the court’s decision, you’ll have to again update all your identification documents.
