Register residence, move from within the country (sole, main or secondary residence)

Procedure

If you move within Germany, you only need to register at your new place of residence. The municipality of your previous place of residence will automatically be informed about the move.

More information

• If a parent moves with a child to another apartment, or if this child moves from one parent to the other, the so-called "Declaration of consent of the custodian on the occasion of a move of a minor child" (see forms) must be brought along with the re-registration.
• From the age of 16, the registration can be done independently. A parent's signature is no longer required.
• If a vehicle is registered in your name, you will also need to change your vehicle documents after registering your new residence. Driving licenses, on the other hand, do not need to be changed.
