The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.
Wouldn’t you already have that for when anyone changes their name?
Only under special circumstances are they allowed to access this information. There is not one big database for every federal agency to browse through willy nilly.
You can’t really change your name in germany just like that. The only other reason to do so that I know of is getting married and then it’s just the last name.
Wrong, we just had a new legislation installed that allowed for easier name and gender changes. It’s called Selbstbestimmungsgesetz
Sigh… you might wanna read the whole comment chain. The last comment was about changing your name outside of being trans.
The previous commenter was not asking about anything but trans though. And it doesn’t really matter anyways because you can change your name for other reasons as well.
No, they were asking for “anyone who changes their name”. And yes there are a few specific reasons when you are able to change your name but not, like I said, just like that.
Why are your comments smelling like “Uhm Aktschually” from reddit?
