Residence Registration as main residence
The new Federal Registration Act will enter into force on 1 November 2015.
Anyone who moves into an apartment must register with the competent authority within two weeks.
Comply with your reporting obligation to avoid unnecessary problems and trouble. In the case of violation of the reporting obligation, problems arise, for example, with vehicle registration, obtaining a driver's license or applying for a certificate of good conduct.
In addition, your identity card and, if applicable, your vehicle registration document must also be changed.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the municipality, the Joint Community and the city to which you have moved.
