Hi  Mike 130,

Thanks for your comment
It's only sounds strange WHEN it's for a German citizen coz of German law is very strict .
But my case is very normal just as far my home land interior ministery and embassy will issue me with NEW NATIONAL ID AND PASSPORT,  which is the legal process in my country  unless is in Germany is not so easy or not possible at all.

It's all legal and with due process  

Thank you for your concern though.

Hello dear @Suny_life,

thank you for sharing your question with the Wefugees Community.

First you should change your name in your national passport, then you can change it in your residence card at your respective Foreigners' Office (Ausländerbehörde). The Foreigners' Offices usually ask you for your national ID Card as well. So, you need to first change your name in your national ID Card as well.

If you need help in the process of changing your name in your residence card at the Foreigners' Office, you can refer to one of the Migration Counseling Offices in your city, such as to Diakonie, Caritas, DRK/BRK, or to AWO, etc., and they will help you in this regard free of charge. I hope, you have got your answer.
