Appmeldung is the easiest way to fill-in the form you need to register residence at the Bürgeramt. A smart questionnaire allows you to place the right information in the right fields. This saves you time and avoid mistakes. You just need to download your form at the end.

Yes, Appmeldung is completely free to use. It is supported by donations and by affiliate commissions if you decide to sign-up for one of the partners presented at the end of the process.

Your data is temporarily saved onto Germany-located servers to process it (= making a completed form out of the information you entered.). Once your completed form has been sent, your data will be permanently deleted from the servers. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used with a 256-bit key to encrypt data at rest including the backups of the information. It is also naturally GPDR compliant. You can read more about data privacy in our data privacy page.

Yes, but it probably doesn’t concern you. It only allows the registration of your main place of residence. i.e: You can’t specify you have other addresses in Germany. This is fine for 99% of people moving to Germany as they only have one address usually. Also, since this service is free, it runs on limited server capacity. Please note that you might have to fill in your birthname/former name in manually, in case you register under a new last name.
