Facts about Deregistration in Germany

If you are planning to leave Germany you should not miss our detailed Blog post on this topic: Deregister your residence when leaving Germany

Who needs to deregister?

Anybody who has registered a residence in Germany is required by law to deregister when leaving the country. So if you move out of an apartment, house, or WG in Germany and don’t move into a new residence within the country, you must deregister. 

What is the deadline to deregister my German residence?

Based on the German “registration law,” you need to deregister between 7 days before and, at the latest, 14 days after you have left the country. You must hand in the completed form at the citizen service of your registered office.

How long is the process?

It takes about five weeks until you receive your deregistration confirmation. However, there is no definitive answer to this question, because how long it ultimately takes to process deregistration requests depends on many factors, such as the responsible citizens’ registration office.

Which documents do I need for my de­registration?

The completed deregistration form and a valid document such as your ID card, or passport
