In case of a change of marital status (marriage, divorce, change of name or surname), you can request a duplicate of your residence card. You can add or remove your spouse's name, or have your first and last name(s) changed.

This is not mandatory.

How do I go about it?

You must apply for a duplicate online.

Apply online for a residence permit, a change of situation, a travel document, an application for naturalization.

You will need to provide the following documents:

• Residence permit
• Passport (pages on civil status, validity dates and entry stamps)
• Birth certificate (full copy or extract with parentage)
• If you are married: marriage certificate
• If you have divorced: Divorce judgment
• If you have changed your name or forename(s): document proving the change
• Proof of domicile less than 3 months old
• 3 photos
• Proof of payment of the fee and/or stamp duty (requested when the card is handed over)

Does it pay to do so?

• If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss Confederation national or a member of his family, the card is free of charge.
• If you're in another situation, you have to pay €25 by tax stamps.
