Here you can find all your begun and submitted requests. By clicking the status box of each request, you can view all details of the selected request. Requests that are filled either incompletely, incorrectly or with false data, will either be rejected, or be send back to you for revision.

If a request is sent back to you for revision, please note that there is a final submission date before which you need to resubmit your request. The final submission date for each request can be found in the request overview as well as in the details to each request.

Requests can have one of the following status:

Request status	Explanation
Revise request	The request is either incomplete, the stated data is incorrect, and/or verification documents are missing. Please choose "Revise request" to see the reason(s) your request has been sent back to you, and make sure to resubmit your request before the final submisson date. If you do not resubmit your request (in time), it will be rejected.
Request in preparation	The request has been begun by you, but not submitted yet. Until you submit your request, it will neither get processed, nor is it visible to case handlers.
Request submitted	The request has been submitted and is currently being processed. As soon as your request has been processed, the status of your request will change accordingly.
Request accepted	Your request has been accepted by the Student Service Center (SSZ) and your requested changes have been recorded.
Request rejected	Your request has been rejected by the Student Service Center (SSZ). Please click on the request to see details on why it was rejected.

What needs to be considered when putting in a new request?

Depending on the type of request, certain verification documents may need to be uploaded as proof. When requesting a change of nationality, a change of surname, birth name or additional name, and/or a change of first name and/or gender designation, you need to upload documents verifying the requested changes. If you do not upload all necessary verification documents, your request will either be rejected or send back for revision.

When requesting a change of department to be eligible to vote in, no additional documents are required.

The following verification documents are required for the different requests:

1. Change of nationality:
   • Certificate of birth
   • and/or Regulatory certification
   • and/or Other proof/certification
2. Change of surname, birth name, and/or additional name
   • Certificate of marriage
