Basic information
The registration must be made within two weeks of moving into the (new) home at one of the BürgerService facilities of the Bürgeramt. An adult family member can register the entire family. Please note that different forms are available for the registration of families and the registration of individuals. The form for the registration of individuals must also be used by persons who are moving together but are not married or in a registered same-sex partnership.

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.
For more information, call (0421) 361-88662.
