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
- Complete deregistration within 3 days before or after moving out.
- When moving abroad, treat deregistration as a separate task.
- 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.
