The Confirmation Letter of Residence (Wohnungsbestätigung/Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung) is a fundamental document within the German residential registration system, mandated by the Federal Registration Act (Bundesmeldegesetz). It is required whenever someone moves into a new residence in Germany, whether as a tenant or property owner. The document serves as official verification from the property owner or authorized representative that an individual has taken up residence at a specific address. This confirmation is a prerequisite for the mandatory residence registration (Anmeldung) with local authorities, which must be completed within 14 days of moving in. The document includes critical information such as the move-in date, exact address, property owner's details, and resident information. It is particularly important for various purposes including visa applications, opening bank accounts, and other official procedures in Germany.
