To promote gender equity for inter*, trans* and non-binary students, there is the possibility to change name and gender entry at the University of Kassel. The data will be fully adjusted in the database so that in the future eCampus, CampusCard, email address, enrollment certificates, transcripts, etc. will contain the self-selected name or gender.

You can find out how to change your personal data below under "Application".

Early name change

Inter*, trans* and non-binary students can have their name changed at the University of Kassel before an official name and civil status change has been completed in accordance with the German Civil Status Act (PStG) or the Transsexuals Act (TSG). For this purpose, the presentation of the supplementary certificate of the German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality (dgti e.V.) is mandatory. However, certificates that have already been issued can only be changed after an official name change.

Changing the gender entry

In addition to the categories "female", "male" and "diverse", the gender entry can be freely selected in the dgti supplementary certificate. A "/" is entered here if it is not completed.

Prerequisite for changing the data

To use the option of changing the first name and gender information, the following is required:

• Online application for a change of first name (see "Application" below)
• Scan of the identity card or the supplementary identity card of the German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality

The dgti supplementary ID card

As long as the name and marital status of inter*, trans* and non-binary persons could not be officially changed, there is a discrepancy between gender identity and official documents such as the identity card. This can lead to confusion, difficulties and problems in everyday life when people have to identify themselves. The dgti supplementary ID card is an additional document that contains all the personal data you have chosen yourself, as well as a current passport photo. The supplementary ID card is unmistakably linked to the ID card via the ID card number. The dgti supplementary ID card is recognized by all interior ministries of the federal states, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and various other authorities and ministries. The ID card can be applied for online via the German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality(http://www.dgti.org).

Confidentiality

All competent authorities are bound by official secrecy. Please send any questions regarding the application process by e-mail to studieren[at]uni-kassel[dot]de. You can apply for a new Campuscard at campuscard[at]uni-kassel[dot]de.
