Please note
Please contact the responsible authority in advance by telephone if you wish to re-register minor children under the age of 16 without both legal guardians.
If you want to re-register your minor child, who has previously lived with both parents in a main residence, into your new main residence without the other parent, you will need the consent of the other parent, a written agreement on the child's center of life or a family court decision on the transfer of sole right of determination of place of residence.
The same applies if you want to change the sole or main residence of your minor child from the residence of one parent to the residence of the other parent.
From the age of 16, minors can re-register without the consent of their legal guardians.
Deadlines
Please register no later than 2 weeks after your move.
