Do you want to relocate your business within the municipality? Do you want to change the name of the trader or change or expand the activity of the business? Then you need to re-register your business.
The relocation of a standing business within the municipality, a change in the name of the trader and a change or expansion of the business activity require a re-registration of the business.
If you wish to relocate your business to another municipality or city, a business re-registration is not sufficient. In this case, the business must first be deregistered at the old location and then re-registered at the new location.
In the case of partnerships (e.g. OHG, KG, GbR/BGB-Gesellschaft, GmbH & Co. KG), all partners authorized to manage the business must register their business.
We are happy to be there for you in person, but work by appointment. Book an appointment quickly and easily online (opens in a new tab) or by telephone on 0611 318000.

Payment for our online application is made exclusively via PayPal.
If you do not have a PayPal account, you have the following alternatives:
📝 Use the forms below for written business registration and choose an advance bank transfer or direct debit as your payment method.
🗓️ Make an appointment to register your business in person - payment can then be made conveniently by card.
You can re-register your business in person, in writing or electronically. Please use the form "Gewerbe-Ummeldung" (GewA 2).
The electronic procedure collects the same data as the personal re-registration. However, you can deviate from the form and do not have to sign it in person.
Please note that some business activities require a permit when expanding your activities. Others are subject to supervision.
If the permit is not available at the time of re-registration, the business re-registration cannot be processed.
The office responsible for the re-registration forwards the business re-registration to other offices, such as the tax office, the employers' liability insurance association, the Chamber of Crafts or the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
The business transfer notification must be submitted immediately at the time of the change.
Please bring with you:
Proof of identity (e.g. identity card, passport, foreign passport)
