Registrations ("Anmeldung")

In Germany, residents must register their address. This is required for many official processes, including opening a bank account or obtaining a residence permit.

    1. Obtain a Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord confirmation form).
    2. Book an appointment at the Bürgeramt (citizen's office) via the Berlin Service Portal. 
    3. Bring your passport and rental agreement to the appointment.
    4. Receive your Meldebescheinigung (registration certificate) immediately after the appointment.

Deregistration: If leaving Berlin permanently, deregister at the Bürgeramt before departure.
