  • You declare that you will not use the data for advertising or address trading purposes or that the data subject has given his or her consent to do so.

Documents required

The online service generates a neutral response for a fee. Inquiries regarding such records can only be submitted in writing to a Hamburg Service location or the residents' register (einwohnerregister@hamburgservice.de).
