Several thousand people with different identities and backgrounds study and work at Freie Universität Berlin. Freie Universität Berlin offers TIN* students the opportunity to use a name of their choice on all internal university documents, including their Campus Card, as well as on all online platforms and in internal university communications.

All you need to do to change your name is submit a supplementary ID card from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Transidentität und Intersexualität (DGTI).

Here's how you can change your name:

Please submit a request for a name change in Self-Service and enter your chosen name in the “First name” and/or “Last name” fields. In the “Attachments” tab, please upload your DGTI card (front and back) together with the declaration of consent.

Once the change has been made, a new QR code for your Campus Card will automatically be made available to you in the my.FU portal. Please note that your old Campus Card will no longer be valid.

You can then also change your email address or set up a new one in the my.FU portal. Further information on email addresses can be found on the FUB-IT website. In justified individual cases, it is also possible to obtain a new FU account with a different username. Please contact IT Support for more information.

Further information for TIN* students and about gender identity can be found on the Diversity web portal.
