If you move into a home in Germany, you must register with the residents' registration office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks (section 17 (1) BMG). To do this, the registration authority needs confirmation from your landlord (Wohnungsgeber) that the move-in actually took place. Without this document, registration is usually not possible.
The landlord (Wohnungsgeber) is usually whoever lets you use the flat: for a rented flat, that's the landlord; for a sublet, the main tenant; for owner-occupied property, the owner themselves. The landlord can also authorise someone else to issue it, for example a property management company. If the landlord is not the owner, the owner's name must also be stated.
Under section 19 (3) BMG, the confirmation must contain the name and address of the landlord, the name of the owner if that is a different person, the move-in date, the address of the flat, and the names of the people registering. The generator asks for exactly these fields and checks before download that all of them are filled in.
The landlord must confirm the move-in within the two-week registration deadline. Anyone who fails to do so, or does so too late, risks a fine of up to 1,000 euros. Anyone who provides an address for a fake registration, even though no one actually lives there, risks up to 50,000 euros (section 54 BMG).
The information is based on the current version of the Federal Registration Act (Bundesmeldegesetz, gesetze-im-internet.de). Some registration offices offer their own form, but the required details are the same. Not legal advice.
The landlord (Wohnungsgeber), usually whoever lets you use the flat: the landlord, the main tenant in case of a sublet, or the owner in the case of owner-occupied property. They can also authorise someone else, for example a property management company.
Under section 19 (3) BMG: the name and address of the landlord, the name of the owner if they are not the landlord, the move-in date, the address of the flat, and the names of the people registering.
Within two weeks of moving in (section 17 (1) BMG). The landlord also has to confirm the move-in within this period.
No. Section 19 BMG only requires a confirmation for moving in. Older templates often still have a field for moving out, but that is no longer needed.
The landlord is legally required to cooperate. If they do not confirm the move-in, or do so too late, this can be punished with a fine of up to 1,000 euros (section 54 BMG). In that case, tell the registration office immediately that the confirmation is missing (section 19 (2) BMG).
No. The form is generated entirely in your browser, names and addresses are never uploaded.
