Deregister residence
If you move abroad, give up a secondary residence or no longer have a permanent residence, you must deregister.
Description
You do not have to deregister if you move within Germany.
Deregistering a secondary residence : You can deregister a secondary residence at the registration office of your main or secondary residence.
If you deregister your secondary residence in Munich, the tax office will be informed automatically.
Moving abroad: If you move abroad, you can leave your address abroad when you deregister. The foreign address is stored in the register of residents. In this case, we can contact you in connection with elections, for example.
Please note that you may also be obliged to notify other authorities of your change of address (e.g. the trade authority or vehicle registration authority).
You must deregister within two weeks of moving out. Otherwise you will be acting in breach of the regulations and will be fined. You can deregister at the earliest one week before you move out.
Required documents
You can deregister in writing (by post) or online if you are moving abroad.
You will need
- Copy of your identity card or passport
- Fully completed deregistration form
(available for download or to buy in stationery shops)- Spouses, registered partners and family members can use one deregistration form for the joint residence. If there are more than four people, an additional form must be used. The signature of one person per form is sufficient.
- If there are several people who are not related, each person must complete and sign a separate form.
- In the case of minors up to the age of 16, the person from whose home the minor is moving out must sign the form.
- In the case of guardians: If the guardian can determine the residence or a reservation of consent has been ordered for the person under guardianship, the guardian must complete and sign the form and provide proof of his or her power of attorney.
