Facts About The German Deregistration Confirmation
If you need a copy of your deregistration confirmation you should not miss our detailed blog post on this topic: German deregistration confirmation
When do I get a deregistration certificate?
When you move away from Germany, you must deregister your address in the citizen’s office. If you do so in person, you receive your confirmation immediately. You can also file your deregistration via mail. In such a case, you must provide a German address to receive your deregistration confirmation.
If you choose our deregistration service, you can deregister your address online, and we will provide you with a digital version of the deregistration confirmation via email. We also offer the additional service of sending the original document abroad to your new address.
I have never deregistered from Germany
It happens repeatedly that people forget to deregister from Germany or simply do not know that it is necessary. If the offices determine that mail can no longer be delivered to your address, your address will be deregistered “officially”. No confirmation of deregistration will be issued.
If it is a mistake, you must still contact your residents’ registration office to clarify the matter and request an extract from the residents’ register. The date selected by the office will be displayed.
If you want a specific date to be displayed, you will have to prove the date of your departure with different documents.
If you have been deregistered by the authorities because you emigrated and forgot to deregister, you can no longer obtain a proper deregistration certificate.
What is an extract from the civil register?
An extract from the civil register can also be referred to as an extended certificate of registration. The registration history is listed there and it is also evident that one is no longer registered in Germany. This certificate always costs a fee. There is no standard for the processing fee and it varies from municipality to municipality. We have seen amounts between 5 euros and 25 euros.
With the service of Deregistration.de the handling fee is already included in the price. So you don’t have to pay anything extra.
How long does the application take?
The processing time of the offices varies greatly throughout Germany and can take between one and 12 weeks. Most offices have recovered well after the Corona turmoil and processes are running properly again and only take so long in exceptions. But in some municipalities it is not so. Especially in Berlin and Munich we experience very long waiting times. There, it is also difficult to get personal appointments if you prefer to take care of your affairs locally.
Why do I need a deregistration confirmation from Germany?
Deregistering your German address when moving abroad is mandatory by German law. With the deregistration confirmation, you can terminate many contracts before the end of their term. You need it to end your broadcasting fees and various ties with Germany. It is also essential to have to renew your passport or ID card, as your embassy will not serve you if you can’t prove that you no longer hold a residence in Germany.
You need a deregistration certificate when applying for the following from abroad:
⦁ Application for a German pension refund
⦁ Renew German passport
⦁ Apply for a German identity card
Have you lost your deregistration confirmation from Germany?
You have already left Germany and have lost your deregistration certificate? No problem.
The original deregistration confirmation is only issued once. When you book our service, we order an excerpt from the registry file of the citizens’ office. The registry document shows the registration and the deregistration of your German address and can be used for the same purposes as the deregistration confirmation.
If you booked your deregistration with SympatMe, we could send you a copy via email within a few days.

FAQ Copy of the deregistration confirmation
What is the procedure?
To obtain an excerpt from the registry office, you must complete a German application form and hand it in along with proof of identity. You then receive your document. A fee of between €4 and €20 is charged for issuing the extended registration certificate (varies from office to office). The problem is that you require a valid passport to travel, so showing up in person can be impossible. If you need the registry excerpt for this purpose, your only option is to apply via mail. It can take very long, and sometimes documents go missing. German authorities don’t use tracked mail.
When you book our copy confirmation service, you must fill in the form we provide in English and upload a copy of your passport or ID card. We will assist you in paying the fee to the citizen’s office. Once we receive your document, we will provide you with a digital version via email, which is sufficient in most cases. We can send your original document to your new address abroad via tracked mail for an additional fee.

And when we send your original, we only use tracked mail.
