What paperwork do I need to register my residence in Kempten?

When you move to Kempten, you must register your address at the local registration office (Einwohnermeldeamt) within two weeks of arrival. Bring your passport or ID, a completed registration form, and a confirmation of residence (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) signed by your landlord. If you are an EU citizen, no visa is required, but you should also obtain a certificate of freedom of movement from the immigration office if you plan to stay longer than three months. The registration office can issue a residence certificate, which you’ll need for utilities, banking and health‑insurance registration. Detailed instructions and downloadable forms are available on the city’s official website.
