Place of residence Deregistration of sole or main residence

Service Description

If you move out of your sole residence and do not move into another residence in Germany, you must deregister. This is regularly the case if you move abroad.

If you move within Germany, you do not have to deregister. It is sufficient if you register with your new municipality.

Process flow

The deregistration process is as follows:

In person:

  • You audition at the competent authority and fill out a registration form.
  • You present the identification documents of the persons to be deregistered.
  • You will then receive the official registration confirmation from the registration office.

In writing:

  • You notify the registration office of the departure with the completed registration form.
  • You enclose copies of the identity documents of the persons to be deregistered.
  • You receive the official registration confirmation from the registration office by mail.

Electronically:

  • If electronic access has been set up by the registration office, you can also deregister electronically.

Who should I contact?

Please contact the relevant registration office.

Requirements

Actually moving out of the home and not moving into a new home domestically.

In the case of a temporary absence with the possibility and intention of continuing to use the dwelling, there is no obligation to deregister.

In the case of persons under 16 years of age, it is important to note that they must be deregistered by the persons from whose dwelling they are moving out.

In contrast to moving in, moving out does not need to be confirmed separately by the housing provider.

Which documents are required?

Identification documents of the persons to be deregistered.

If you are unable to appear in person, the registration form signed by you can also be presented by an authorized person (power of attorney required). In the case of families, it is sufficient if one of the adult family members appears in person and the family has moved out together. Please remember to bring all IDs and passports of the family members.

What are the fees?

none

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

You have to deregister at the registration office within 2 weeks after moving out of the apartment. You can deregister already in the week before moving out of the apartment. In this case, the population register will only be updated on the date of the actual move-out.

Legal basis

What else should I know?

You will receive a confirmation of deregistration free of charge.
