Deregister your residence

When you give up a residence, deregister it within the applicable period.

Deregistration concerns the residence you actually give up. It is a separate, important step when moving abroad in particular, and it does not replace notifications concerning contracts or other organisations.

What to prepare

  • Clearly record the move-out date and the residence being given up.
  • Plan a safe place to keep the confirmation and submitted documents.

Step by step

  1. Complete deregistration within 3 days before or after moving out.
  2. When moving abroad, treat deregistration as a separate task.
  3. Keep the confirmation and important documents.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not forget deregistration simply because you are registering at a new address.
  • Do not assume that OBS, energy suppliers, insurers or other organisations automatically update everything as a result.
What to check officially

Check consequences for OBS, energy, insurance and other organisations separately.
