hey german fedi: can i legally be required to bring my birth certificate for a name change registration under SBGG §4? if so, on what basis? (important detail: i do mean specifically the registration, NOT the name change itself 3-6 months later) boosts appreciated :3

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt no???? dsgvo (datenminimierung) sagt nein (the birth certificate is neither an amtlicher lichtbildausweis nor a proof of anything but the fact that you have been born in a certain place to certain individuals on a certain date)

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt good question. I boosted it since IDK. - I guess if you want it changed/amended/replaced then you kinda would've to hand it over (similar to changing names on IDs means that xou'd reapply for new IDs and turn in old ones.

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt No idea about legal requirements, but in my case I didn't need one for the registration (I also only send them a letter for it) and I didn't even need it for the change itself, since I went to the Standesamt where I was born (they initially told me I needed one, but that was a mistake and they were nice and gave me the new birth certificate for free since I already payed for the old one, that I didn't needed).

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt legally, not really. practically, depends if you want to pick a fight or not. cologne accepted the sign up by email, so there is no legal requirement for this anywhere.

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt Many registry offices allow you to do the preregistration online or on the phone (Leipzig allows both). I did it in Leipzig via their online form and didn't need any identification for that iirc. And I don't think there would be a legal basis to ask for the birth certificate in particular.

    @lily@problematisch.jetzt I dont think they wanted anything from me in Nuremberg just for the pre-registration. But if you encounter any issues with your sbgg process, reach out to the dgti e.V. for guidance and assistance. They helped me immensly and don't take anyone's shit. ​:spinnycat_trans:​
