After the move the paperwork waits. Re-registering early avoids fines and missed mail. Here is what really matters.
Residents office first
In Germany the new address must be registered with the citizens office within two weeks. Bring your ID and the landlord confirmation.
Set up mail forwarding
A forwarding order from the postal service redirects letters to the new address for six to twelve months, so no important item is lost.
Inform the key services
- Employer, health insurer, tax office.
- Banks, insurers, contracts.
- Vehicle registration, broadcasting fee.
- Electricity, gas, internet, phone.
- Subscriptions, online shops, clubs.
Practical checklist
Work through the list step by step and tick off each office. Ideally in the first days after moving in.
