What paperwork is required to register my address in Gotha?

When you move to Gotha, you must register your residence at the local registration office within two weeks of arrival. Bring a completed registration form, your passport or ID, and a signed confirmation from your landlord (the “Wohnungsgeberbestätigung”). If you are from another EU country, you will also need proof of health insurance and, if applicable, a registration certificate from your home country. The office will issue a registration certificate (“Meldebescheinigung”), which you’ll need for opening a bank account, obtaining a tax ID, and enrolling children in school. Check the city’s website for downloadable forms and office hours.
