If you move into a new apartment, you will need a confirmation from your landlord/landlady that you have moved in. You must present this every time you register.

The landlord/landlady is usually the owner of the apartment. However, it can also be the property management company appointed by the owner or, if you are living as a subtenant, the main tenant of the apartment.

The landlord's confirmation of residencePDF-File111,64 kB must contain the following information:

• Name and address of the landlord/landlady
• Name of the owner
• Address of the apartment
• Names of all persons moving into the apartment (including children)
• Date of moving in

It is also possible for landlords and landladies to submit the confirmation electronically to the registration authority. In this case, your landlord/landlady will provide you with a so-called assignment feature, which will be communicated to him/her by the registration authority.

When you then register with this registration office, you either present the landlord's confirmation of residence or state the allocation feature.
