Yes the data would have to be re-entered.

Depending on the library, the librarian might request that the patron come 
to the library with proof of change of address or change of name.  I would 
imagine that things like change of email or work phone would be entered 
without contacting the patron again.

If it were my library I would only have things that could be updated without 
verification such as email or work telephone available on the OPAC (and have 
those go directly to the database) and a notice that the patron needs to 
come in with required proofs for other changes.
