Reporting system

If you require an extended certificate of good conduct for official or private purposes, you can apply for this at the local authority responsible for you or via the online portal of the Federal Office of Justice.

As the authorities closest to the citizens, the municipalities and administrative communities in particular are generally authorized to officially certify copies and signatures.

Specially marked parking spaces for severely disabled persons are intended exclusively for use by certain severely disabled persons. The required parking permit can be applied for from the municipality of residence if the medical requirements are met.

You can have your data blocked in the registration register by the registration authority (information block). In certain cases, you can object to the transfer of your registration data (transfer block).

A registration certificate about your place of residence and possibly other data is required for a variety of everyday matters.

When you move out of your home, you are obliged to deregister with the relevant registration authority (municipality or city) within two weeks, unless you move into a new home in Germany.

If you have and live in several apartments in Germany, one apartment is your main residence and all other apartments are secondary residences. You must inform the registration office which apartments you have and which of them is your main or secondary residence.

If you move into an apartment, you must register with the relevant registration authority (municipality, town or administrative community) within two weeks of moving in.

Residents of urban districts whose parking space is managed due to a considerable lack of parking space (recognizable by special traffic signs with additional signs) can apply for so-called resident parking permits.
