Inform the Student Service Centre of such changes in writing, stating your degree programme, your matriculation number and enclosing proof (e.g. marriage certificate).

Update your address in the LSF campus management portal under the “Change personal data” section.

The change of gender entry, and the associated change of first name, can be made at the Student Service Centre even before official confirmation. Send an email or an informal letter with the following information: 

• Chosen name and chosen pronouns
• Proof (e.g. DGTI (German society for transfusion medicine and immune haematology) supplementary certificate, registry office confirmation). If required, you can apply to the Students’ Union to have the costs of the DGTI supplementary certificate covered (send an email to asta@students-htw.de).

You can informally request the reissue of your certificates or final documents. The original certificate will be withdrawn as a result. Changes include: 

• First name
• Gender entry
• Salutation and grammatical forms (male/female/gender-neutral)

The date of issue and the rest of the text in the certificate remain unchanged. No reference is made to a reissue.
