Registering with the local authorities

In Berlin, just as everywhere in Germany, registration is obligatory. This means that everyone who inhabits an apartment in Berlin must register at the local Residents' Registration Office (Bürgeramt) within the first two weeks.

The easiest way is to arrange an appointment via the Service-Portal Berlin. Unfortunately, the websites are mainly in German language. We therefore recommend to call their telephone support (Bürgertelefon) for a better guidance.
