Anmeldung in Munich: the 2026 guide

How to register your address at the KVR — what to bring, when to book, and where to go if slots are gone.

By law, you must register your address at the KVR within 14 days of moving into a Munich apartment. Miss it and you risk a fine (rarely enforced, usually a warning) — but more importantly, you can't get a Steuer-ID, open a Girokonto, or extend your visa without it.

Book the Termin

The KVR runs online bookings at ^{stadt.muenchen.de/buergerservice}.

What to bring

1. Passport (and visa if you have one).
2. Wohnungsgeberbestätigung — your landlord's signed confirmation that you're living at the address. Ask them for this before you arrive; some delay, most oblige quickly.
3. Rental contract (optional but helpful).
4. Filled Anmeldeformular (download from the KVR portal or fill on the spot).

The appointment itself

It takes ~15 minutes. The clerk types your details, stamps your Anmeldebescheinigung, and you're done. Scan and save that certificate — you'll reference it for every future filing (visa, bank, Krankenkasse, Finanzamt).

If you missed the 14-day window

Take the appointment anyway. The clerk almost never fines late registration for newcomers. If they do, the standard admonition is "nächstes Mal rechtzeitig" — "next time on time."

After Anmeldung

• Steuer-ID arrives by post 2–4 weeks later (from the federal tax office, not Munich). See the Finanzamt guide.
• Krankenkasse card arrives from your insurer once they link the Anmeldung to your file.
• Deutschlandticket — you can now subscribe at the new 2026 rate of €63/month.
