I’ll be moving from another EU country and need to know the steps.
What paperwork is required to register my address in Gotha?
1 Answer
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.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date.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 Gotha.
