After downloading the Expat Launcher 6-Step Visa Cheatsheet, do you want to turn your plans into action and register your address in Germany to finally apply for your visa? Just don’t know how or where to start?

 

The address registration process can be confusing and very intimidating to a lot of expats. It might be your first interaction with a German authority and you just don’t know what to expect.

 

You’re not alone… we’ve been there ourselves! Unfortunately, there is no way around it. 

 

 

Fact: You Are Legally Obligated To Register Your Address Within 2 weeks!

 

 

The German Registration Code (yes, there is such a thing) mandates that you register your address within 2 weeks of moving in.

 

If you decide not to register your address within that timeframe, the authority can fine you up to € 1000. How many beers could you buy from that?

 

Although it seems like Germany goes a little bit overboard here, there are some good reasons for you to register your address.

Once you register your address you can:

Apply for a visa resident permit | Get German health insurance | Open a bank account | Apply for a Tax ID | Enroll at a German university | Set up a mobile phone contract | Get an identification card and many other fun things...

 

Expatriates are usually unsure which authority is in charge for them. To make things worse, every authority requires different forms - most of them in German - and follows their own individual process.

 

It can be a challenge for native Germans, and it is definitely a tough nut to crack for someone who just arrived.

 

Another Fun Fact: There are 11,528 registration offices in 16 states, 53 of them just in Berlin

 

Ok, to be totally honest, I am not 100% sure who counted, but I wouldn't want his job.

 

If you feel like recounting and correcting that number, please email me. I did, however, count the Berlin offices myself. And the states. 😉

 

Bottom line: there is a bunch of them. And it can be challenging to find out which one is yours and what exact forms you need and know the process they follow.

 

So, what is the easiest way for you to register your address?

 

Is there a service that gives you all the right forms, finds your authority, schedules an appointment and shows you exactly what to do?

 

There is, and that’s exactly what this page is all about…
