I’m an EU citizen and need to understand the registration process.
How do I find a doctor and get health insurance after moving to Nuremberg?
1 Answer
As an EU citizen, you can obtain statutory health insurance through a German provider once you register your residence at the local registration office. After enrolling, you will receive a health insurance card that grants access to doctors, hospitals and pharmacies. To find a primary care physician, use the online physician directory offered by the national medical association, filtering by specialty and location. The city’s health‑service portal also lists practices that accept statutory insurance and provides information on waiting times. For specialist appointments, you typically need a referral from your primary doctor.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Nuremberg.
