Procedure descriptions

Residence - Notify change of main residence

If you have several residences in the federal territory, you must declare to the registration office which of these residences is your main residence.

Main residence is:

  • if you are married or in a civil partnership and live only temporarily separated from your family or your civil partner: the predominantly used dwelling of the family or the civil partnership.
  • if you are married or in a civil partnership and live permanently separated: Your predominant home
  • if you are a minor: the main home of your parents or foster parents. If they live separately, the main residence is the residence in which you mainly live.
  • Only if the predominantly used dwelling cannot be determined beyond doubt, the focus of the living relations is to be taken into account. Indications for this are, for example, the type of dwelling, personal ties, social and communal political activities as well as membership in clubs and other organisations.

A secondary residence is any other residence within the country. You can therefore have one main residence and several secondary residences.

If you change your main residence, you must inform the competent registration office.
