I have learned more in 3 videos than I have on almost any other channel. Thank you both so much! Much love from Tennessee.

This is the most information I watched about Anmeldung.

Thank you guys, so much helpful! Subscribed and following...

Depending on the Airbnb host, they are willing to give Wohnungsgeberbestätigung with the format used by the local city. My host was kind enough to give one as PDF, then I did the corrections afterwards. Edit: You need to have your Airbnb booking as a long stay (e.g. 1 month, 6 weeks) so that the host has justification to give you a Wohnungsgeberbestätigung. Short stays will be perceived as "not Anmeldung-worthy" since you are not concerned with the succeeding documents that requires long-stay address.

If I had know this channel before arriving in Germany and not two weeks after 😂 Thanks for the content :))!

AirBnb owners (some) give you the landlord confirmation (Wohungsgeberbestätigung) if you stay more than 3 months of time. And also if the landlord is super friendly, he/she will even give it to you for whatever the time of your stay.

I love online appointments: never waited longer than 5 minutes since they've become a thing.

I'd like to clarify something about AirBnBs and the Certificate of Residence. If you are a foreigner and you just moved to Germany, the landlord HAS to provide the certificate, as per § 19 al. 2 BMG. AirBnB, Wünderflats and any other services might say what they like, but that's the law. Of course, it's better to find a place where you initially agreed on getting the certificate, but in case that doesn't happen, you should notify it (§ 54 Abs. 3 BMG) and you can even apply legal action. I strongly recommend using a service like Advocado to talk to a lawyer about any issues that might occur about this, as at the very end it's what the law says what you can rely on. In cases like Berlin, it's even very common to pay WAY MORE than the maximum rent, that can also be solved legally.

I was hoping that it would be possible to do Ummeldung online because as I move to my new apartment, I will already be working full time and honestly I want to avoid getting day-offs during the Probezeit for the sake of things like this. I guess the only choice is to get a 8:00 appointment and then go to the workplace as soon as possible.

Hey, thanks for the helpful video! I moved to Germany about five years ago and upon arriving I stayed in an Airbnb for a month. The renter was kind enough to give me the form for the registration, maybe because I was staying for a long period. I was able to register at the Bürgeramt with the print of my Airbnb reservation and his signed form. It might not always work, but if the renter is nice and you ask for help, they will help you out :)

Hi! I'm not currently living in Germany, but planning to move there in the future. I'm a european union citizen.

Firstly, great videos, no nonsense and straight to the point. My question : you mentioned that if you are married only one of you (not the whole family) needs to go to the registration office do the anmeldung. If your wife is a full time mom/housewife and you want to submit tax claims using category III and V to reduce tax, the wife will need a tax ID. Will this be issued for her even if she doesn’t go to the registration office? Also, is the TAX ID number and Social Security number issued after completing anmeldung (is it the offspring of the process) ? Many thanks !

@simplegermany

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Brian 😊 So if only one of you goes to the registration, you need to carry all original documents (passports etc) from your entire family with you and register all members of your family, so all of your family members should receive their tax ID via postal mail a few weeks later. As far as we know, when you have tax class III and V, you have to file a tax declaration together. The Social Security Number does not get issued automatically through the Anmeldung, but rather through your health insurance or employer, depending on how you are insured. You can find more details in our three guides on the topics: www.simplegermany.com/tax-number-germany/ - www.simplegermany.com/tax-class-germany/ - www.simplegermany.com/social-security-number-germany/. Hope these help you out further 😊
