dgti-Ergänzungsausweis

In the case of inter*, trans* and non-binary persons, the official identity documents do not match their own gender location before the official change of name and/or civil status. Until now, students and applications had to wait for a court order in such cases. Since October 2022, it has been valid at FH Aachen that the presentation of the dgti supplementary identity card is sufficient for all identity-related procedures at the university - from the application to the registration to examinations. The dgti supplementary identity card is a standardised identity document that documents all self-selected personal data (first name, pronoun and gender) and shows a current passport photo. It is issued by the German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality, in short dgti e.V., and is intended to prevent discrimination by authorities. Following the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court 2 BvR 1833/95, the ID card takes into account the right to be addressed in one's conscious and declared gender as well as one's self-chosen first name in communication with state authorities.

If you have any questions, students can contact the Registrar's Office.
