If you have an eID card and your address changes, you must also have your address changed on your eID card. If you have a main residence, you must go to the eID card authority at your main place of residence to change the address on your eID card. The eID card authority is the identity card authority. If you are not required to register, the eID card authority in whose district you live at the time of the change of address is responsible for you.
