What paperwork do I need to register my address after moving to Mönchengladbach?

After moving to Mönchengladbach, you must register your residence at the local registration office within two weeks. Bring a completed registration form, your passport or ID, a rental contract or proof of accommodation, and, if applicable, marriage and birth certificates for family members. EU citizens do not need a residence permit, but you should also obtain a certificate of registration for tax and health‑insurance purposes. The office’s website provides downloadable forms and details on opening hours. If you need assistance in another language, the office often offers information sheets in English or can direct you to a multilingual help desk.
