Wohnsitz Anmeldung als Hauptwohnsitz

This service is currently still under construction and will only be launched shortly. The online service is therefore not yet available. As soon as the service is available, you will find the corresponding link here.

Have you moved within Germany? You can now re-register online, including the new address on your ID card. The first people to be able to use the service are single adults without minor children. The service is being continuously expanded.

If you move into an apartment, you must register.

You do not need to deregister with the registration authority in whose jurisdiction your previous home was located.

Further information can be found in the linked description "Changing residence (sole, main or secondary residence)" under "Further information".

No documents required.

To use this service, you need a user account with an online ID.

You will also need

• a valid ID card with activated online ID function including PIN (more information on the online ID function can be found under "More information" - "Where can I find out more?")
• or an eID card (for more information on the eID card, see "More information" - "Where can I find out more?")
• an NFC-enabled smartphone or a USB card reader
• the AusweisApp (further information on the AusweisApp can be found under "Further information" - "Where can I find out more?") for your computer or smartphone.

For the time being, this service is available to the following group of people
Single persons of legal age (single, divorced, marriage annulled, widowed, registered civil partnership annulled, registered civil partner deceased, marital status unknown) without minor children.

All registrations for new main or sole residences are possible. The status of existing secondary residences remains unaffected.

The registration of residence takes place in the following 4 phases:

1. You provide the information about your new home. We will then send you a code by post to your new address.
2. You use the code to confirm that you are moving in. You simply enter it in the online service.
3. Your electronic registration confirmation is available in the online service and you update the address saved on your ID card. A sticker will then be sent for your ID card.
4. The new address sticker will arrive by post. All you have to do is stick it on your ID card. Everything is now up to date.

You will need around 10-15 minutes to compare and enter your data. We need about 5 minutes on the next working day to confirm your new place of residence and digitally update your ID card data. In addition, the code and address label will be sent by post (usually 3-5 days each).

Two weeks after moving into the new residence. Timely registration of the change of address is sufficient to meet the deadline.
