For children up to the age of 16, the person into whose home the children are moving must register them. If necessary, the consent of the legal guardian is required.

Process flow

You can also be represented at the registration by a person presenting the required documents (registration documents and power of attorney).

Family members and members of a civil partnership should, if they move on the same day from a common dwelling to a new common dwelling, use a registration form together; it is sufficient if one of the registrants makes the registration.

Newborns born in the country shall be registered only if they are admitted to a dwelling other than that of the parents or the mother.

If a guardian or custodian has been appointed for a person of full age who can determine the residence, the registration is incumbent on him or her.
