Change your place of residence
Description
If you move, you must register at your new place of residence.
For children up to the age of 16, the person in whose home the children move must make the registration. If necessary, the consent of the legal guardian is required.
- The violation of the reporting obligation is a violation of § 54 of the Federal Registration Act (BMG). In this case, a warning or fine procedure of up to EUR 1,000.00 can be initiated.
- In the case of unmarried couples, everyone must fill out and sign their own registration form. The same applies to adult children.
- If the parents of a minor resident who has not yet reached the age of 16 have joint custody, the consent of both parents is required for the change of a common home of the child (change of the centre of his or her life) (§§ 1627, 1687.1 sentence 1 BGB). Therefore, from 1 November 2015, a declaration must be submitted if in the future both custodians no longer have a common home with the child or if the sole (previously only) home or the main residence of the child changes from one custodian to the other. A corresponding declaration of consent can be found under Forms and Documents (see below).
- Identity card or passport if the person subject to registration has reached the age of 16
- Personal documents of the family members, which are reported together on a registration form

The registration office may require the submission of further documents that serve as proof of the information (e.g. birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree).

To register, you must fill out and sign the officially required registration form. You must hand it in personally or instruct another suitable person to hand it in.
Depending on the offer of the municipality, you may not have to fill out the registration form and receive the data directly if you appear in person at the competent authority. You must then confirm the correctness of the data by signature on a printout.
Family members and members of a civil partnership should use a registration form together if they move from a shared apartment to a new shared apartment on the same day.
Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation of registration.
If the competent authority of your new place of residence has opened Internet access for registration, you can also transmit the required information using a qualified electronic signature via this access.
You will not be able to use this service if you

In these cases, you will need to log in as described above.
The registration must be made in person or by a family member or an authorized person who is subject to registration.
