Registering your place of residence
Anyone moving within Stuttgart, moving to accommodation in Stuttgart from another German city or from abroad must register their place of residence in person within two weeks. You can do this at any Citizens' Service Centre in Stuttgart. There are Citizens' Service Centres in every district of the city.
Please bring your identity card or passport and the written confirmation PDF-File 605,61 kB by the lessor/landlord with you to the Citizens' Service Centre. You will receive a confirmation of registration. This document shows how long you have lived in Germany and/or Stuttgart.
If you register your apartment in person at one of the 22 citizens' offices in the city, you can take care of other services resulting from your move at the same time. For example, these are: Change of address on your residence permit or get resident parking permits for your new apartment.
