Apartment registration in Wiesbaden

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here and that you’re making Wiesbaden your new home. For more inspiration about Wiesbaden, the state capital, please click here (opens in a new tab).

If you’re moving into an apartment in Wiesbaden, you must register at the Citizens’ Office or a local administrative office.

If you are under 16 years of age, the person in whose apartment you are moving in is responsible for registering you. Newborns born in Germany need to be registered only if they are living in a residence other than that of their parents or mother. If you are of legal age and have a guardian or caregiver appointed who can determine your place of residence, that person is responsible for registering you.

If you are moving within Germany and changing your primary residence, you can complete the registration online:

To do so, you’ll need a German ID card or eID card with the online ID function (opens in a new tab) activated, including a PIN (click here (opens in a new tab)).
If you do not have the online ID function, you can complete the registration using the Video-Ident procedure.

Note: The “Electronic Residence Registration” online service may currently experience temporary connection issues.

Please use the “Online Residence Registration” service as an alternative. You can also use this service to register your residence online.

When registering with the registration office, you must present written confirmation from your landlord or a person authorized by the landlord (landlord’s confirmation (opens in a new tab)).

We are happy to assist you in person, but we operate exclusively by appointment. You can quickly and easily book an appointment online via the calendar on the Citizens’ Office or local administration websites.
