Stadt Münster: Citizens office
For registering the change of address (registration) we need
There is only one form for registration and change of address. You can get the registration form in one of the facilities of the Citizens' Affairs Office (Amt für Bürgerangelegenheiten) as well as at Münster Information in the Council Office Building (Stadthaus 1) or directly here:
The registration form must be signed by you personally and presented in a citizens' affairs office. You can get further explanations on the form.
You should register in a citizens' affairs office within one week after moving in. As a rule, changing an address beforehand is not a good idea since identity documents and car documents cannot be changed in advance. Resident Parking Permits are also only issued after a move has taken place. You may have someone represent you at the presentation of the registration form.
There are no charges for changing an address if the deadlines are met.
Your car is moving with you? Then get information on the pages (in german laguage) of the KFZ-Zulassungsstelle (Motor Vehicle Registration Office). You can also have us change the address on the vehicle registration document (Anschriftenänderung im Fahrzeugschein).
And where do you want to park? Resident parking zones (Bewohnerparkzonen) are furnished in the city centre. We can give you Resident Parking Permits (Bewohnerparkausweise) as well.
Please note: For reasons of data protection we can only hand over registration certificates to you in person or send them per post to the registered address. If a third party applies for the registration certificate, please give this person a qualified authorization (Vollmacht) as well as your identity card. This also applies to family members, spouses and children of legal age.
