Registration at the Residents\u2018 Registration Office<\/h5>\n

After arriving in Germany, you must go straight to the registration authority (Einwohnermeldeamt) to give them your address in Germany. International students must go immediately to the immigration authority (Ausl\u00e4nder- beh\u00f6rde) in order to apply for \u201eresidence permit for the purpose of studying\u201c.\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Residents\u2019 Registration Office for the Friedensau community is in the town hall of M\u00f6ckern (Friedensau is a part of M\u00f6ckern). You are required to register here as a primary or secondary resident of Friedensau. For this purpose, you need to register within a week of your arrival. Bring your passport or ID card.<\/p>\n

Deregistration at the Residents' Registration Office<\/h5>\n

Important: Non-German students must also report to the registration office in person when they move away again. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moving (Change of residence)<\/h5>\n

If you are moving and your address is going to change, you must inform the Registration authority (Einwohnermeldeamt). Please update your Certificate of Registration (Meldebescheinigung) there. <\/span><\/p>\n

You need a Certificate of registration (Meldebescheinigung) to open a bank account, get a cellphone contract, register a vehicle or apply for a residence permit. It\u2018s the official way to prove that you live at a certain address. You can request this certificate from the registration authority (Einwohnermeldeamt).\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the appointment, you need to bring:\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • a passport (possibly with visa) or personal identification card and<\/li>\n
  • a completed and signed housing confirmation from your landlord,<\/li>\n
  • possibly marriage certificate and possibly birth certificates of children as originals and an officially verified translation.\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The document is printed out and given to you during the appointment. In the case of switching flats \/ rooms in different buildings on campus, or if you move to another city, the Meldebescheinigung needs to be renewed. In some cases, this document also needs to be updated; as some institutions want to see that your current address hasn\u2019t changed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
