If you are under 16 years of age, you must be registered by the person whose home you are moving into.
If you are over 18 years of age and a carer or guardian has been appointed for you who can determine your residence, then your new home must be registered by your carer or guardian.
You only have to register newborn babies born in Germany if they move into a different home to that of their parents or mother.
To register your new home, you must come in person to the registration office responsible for you or authorize another person to do so.
You can also register your place of residence digitally at www.wohnsitzanmeldung.de.

How quickly do I have to register after my move?
Within 2 weeks. According to the Federal Registration Act, this applies to all towns and municipalities in Germany.
What are the advantages of registering online?
You save yourself a trip to the office and even money, because registering your place of residence online is free of charge.
Is my data secure when I register online?
Yes, because it only works via the online ID function of your ID card or eID card.
I am being shown registration data that is incorrect. Can I clarify this online?
Unfortunately not. You would need to discuss this at your local registration office.
Why do I have to enter the move-out and move-in date?
Normally, move-out and move-in take place on the same day. Rental contract periods, visits or moving journeys are NOT relevant. If the two dates actually differ and you have moved into another apartment in the meantime, please contact your registration office.
Why does the registration authority need a digital copy of my landlord's confirmation of residence?
When registering a move-in, you are legally required to present the landlord's confirmation of residence to the registration authority.
How do I get a landlord's confirmation of residence?
Your landlord, usually your landlord, is obliged to issue you with a landlord's confirmation of residence. This document is for submission to the authorities. Please do not upload your contract.
What happens once I have sent my data?
The registration office checks all the details. As soon as this has been completed, you will receive an e-mail message. You can then call up your registration confirmation in the online service and update your ID document.
How do I get address stickers for my ID card?
To update your address data on the ID card, the online service directs you to the ID card app and updates the address data stored on the chip of the ID card. Once this has been done, you will automatically receive a letter from the Bundesdruckerei with the address sticker,
which is provided with a special security code. If you have moved to a new municipality and are in possession of a valid passport, you will also receive a residence sticker for your passport.
I have sent off my application, why am I unexpectedly receiving a letter in the post?
If you have problems with your landlord's documents, you may also receive a letter at your new home address. This contains a code that you must enter in the online service. This is an alternative way of checking your new home address.
I have misplaced the address label. Does this mean my registration is incomplete and am I in breach of the obligation to register?
Don't worry. Your registration is valid as soon as your registration address has been updated and the registration confirmation has been made available to you in the online service. Once your ID card has been updated via the online service and online ID function (overwriting the chip in the ID card with your new address), your ID document is up to date. Nevertheless, you should update the address sticker. You can obtain a new sticker from your local authority. Do you still have the cover letter for the lost address sticker? It is easier for the colleagues at the
counter if you bring it with you to the appointment
