Tips and common mistakes
Register soon after you move in
In Germany you generally need to register your address within two weeks of moving in. Appointments in big cities can be hard to get, so look for one as soon as you have a contract.
Bring the landlord's confirmation
The landlord's confirmation of residence is required, and your landlord must provide it. Take your passport or ID, the registration form and the appointment confirmation, and keep the certificate you receive.
