Hello @AntoninaUkr,

thanks for reaching out to us. If you're not sure yet where you're gong to live for a longer period in the future, you should be careful with a registration, as a registration will trigger a residency requirement. So please choose your place of residence first, if possible, and register then at that place.

I hope my answers were helpful and I’ll be very pleased if you contact me again with further questions. I'm a member of the mbeon-staff and I‘ll be glad to guide over a longer period of time. mbeon is an online advisory service for migrants via the mbeon-app, which you can download on your smartphone for free. You'll find me in the mbeon-app under my location „München” and then my name “Frau Müller“ and get confidential one-to-one advice in a safe virtual room where nobody can read messages. For further information please visit ***.mbeon.de.

Best regards

Hi @mbeon-Christine, does it mean it is or is not possible to move to another Bundesland after they are registered? and are there any downsides if they don't register? I have the same question for another family here

Dear Conny,

this depends on various factors:
1. Where do they want tp live for a longer period?
2. Do they need financial support? In this case, most municipalities want to see a registration, but we cannot give a general answer for all of Germany.
They could move to another Bundesland, e.g. if they find a workplace there and get independent of social assistance.
