Do I have to update LUCID when my company details change?

Q: Do I have to update LUCID when my company details change?

Yes, without delay. § 6(1) VerpackDG requires producers to tell ZSVR at once about any change to their registration data and about permanently ceasing to act as a producer. It names changes to, or the end of, the authorised representative's mandate as part of that duty. Changes are made in LUCID itself (§ 6(3)); nobody else can make them for you.

Yes, without delay. § 6(1) VerpackDG covers changed registration data, a change or end of your representative, and stopping for good.

Since 12 August 2026, § 5 VerpackDG, implementing Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2025/40, requires a producer with no establishment in Germany to appoint an authorised representative before it first makes packaging available in Germany. Read § 5

Quick answer

Yes, without delay. § 6(1) VerpackDG: producers tell ZSVR at once about changed registration data and about permanently ceasing to act as a producer, including any change to, or end of, the authorised representative's mandate. You make the changes yourself in LUCID (§ 6(3)); registration is the one duty you cannot hand over (§ 5(1)).
