Deregister your place of residence
Description
If you move out of an apartment and do not move into another apartment in The country, you must deregister.
The most important cases are moving abroad or deregistering a secondary residence.
If you are moving within Germany, you do not have to unsubscribe. It is enough if you register with your new municipality.
In the case of persons under the age of 16, care must be taken to ensure that they are deregistered by the persons from whose home they are moving.
Confirmation of the landlord
You must deregister from the registration office within two weeks of moving out of the apartment. You can deregister the week before moving out of the apartment.
If you move abroad, you must personally deregister at the competent registration authority (at the original place of residence).
If you only dissolve one of several residences in Germany, you can deregister this residence either at the local registration authority or at the registration authority in whose area of responsibility you remain.
