Register or re-register residence - Family
If you are moving to Munich as a family, you must register within 14 days - even if you are moving within the city.
Course description
You can register or re-register your place of residence as a family either online or in person at one of the citizens' offices. It is sufficient for one parent to appear in person or for an authorised person to carry out the registration. Minor children are automatically registered as well - it is not necessary for the children to appear in person.
The online service is only available for main residences. It is not possible to register or re-register secondary residences online.
You need an appointment to visit the Citizens Office.
Prerequisites
- You have already moved into the flat. Registration with a date in the future is not legally possible.
- You do not have to deregister at your previous place of residence. This is done automatically when you register in Munich.
- If you own several flats in Germany, you must determine where your main residence is.
- It is sufficient if a person who is obliged to register comes to the Citizens Office to register.
Required documents

- Confirmation from the landlord/owner that you are moving into the flat. The submission of a confirmation in self-written form is only sufficient if it contains all the necessary information:

- Move-in date
- The names of all persons required to register
- If you do not or not yet have the landlord's confirmation of residence, you can submit a declaration regarding the missing landlord's confirmation of residence.

Questions & Answers
The child must be registered by the parent with whom it actually lives. The consent of the other parent is not required.
The main residence is the home primarily used by the child. In case of doubt, it depends on the focus of the living arrangements, for example school, kindergarten, sports club. The other home must be registered as a secondary residence.
