The Residence Declaration Form (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) is a fundamental component of Germany's residential registration system, introduced as part of the Federal Registration Act (Bundesmeldegesetz) reforms. This document must be completed whenever individuals move into or out of a property in Germany, serving as official confirmation of residence from the property owner or landlord. The form is essential for the mandatory registration process (Anmeldung) that must be completed within 14 days of moving into a new residence. It includes crucial details such as the property address, move-in/move-out dates, information about the property owner/landlord, and details of all residents. The document helps prevent fraudulent registrations and ensures accurate population records, while also being necessary for various administrative purposes such as opening bank accounts, obtaining health insurance, or registering vehicles.
