Residents' Registration

If you will be staying in Germany for more than three months, you (and all members of your family) will need to register at the local Citizens' Registration Office after your arrival. Please remember to re-register or deregister each time you move or before you leave the country! You must also deregister your residence status when you leave Germany.

Please make an appointment to register:https://terminvergabe.saarbruecken.de

If you are moving to Germany for the first time, please select "Meldeangelegenheiten" and then "Wohnsitzanmeldung Zuzug aus dem Ausland". If you have moved within Germany, please select "Wohnsitzanmeldung Zuzug aus dem Bundesgebiet".

In order to register, you will need to present a valid passport or personal ID and a document called "Wohnungsgeberbestätigung" from your landlord. Usually, you will receive this document when you move in.
Further documents may be required if you are married (marriage certificate) or your children are with you in Germany (birth certificate).

On the day of the appointment you will receive your registration certificate, which you need for example to open a bank account or for the immigration office. However, you will receive your tax number later by mail.
