3.1 City council registration

[checked revision]

Latest revision as of 17:33, 5 February 2021

After you have arrived in Lübeck, you have to get officially registered.

Important

All students staying in Lübeck have to register with the city within 7 days after their arrival, including students from Germany or EU countries. Book an online appointment with the local City Council Office at least 1 month before moving to Lübeck.

Bring

your passport and
a confirmation of your address in Lübeck, signed by the landlord.

Nationals of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland do not need a residence permit, but

often you have to provide proof of health insurance and
proof of financial resources

in order to register with the residents' registration office.

Where to go?[]

If you book the appointment online, you will usually have the choice between several citizen service offices ("Bürgerservicebüro"). Depending on where you are based in Lübeck, you can choose the office in your neighbourhood. This will probably be either

in the city centre ("Bürgerservicebüro Innenstadt", find it on Google Maps) or
near the campus ("Bürgerservicebüro Hochschulstadtteil", find it on Google Maps).

When you are there, you have to wait until the number is called that you got when you made your appointment online.

Important

If you come from a non-EU country, your visa needs to be converted to a residence permit for study purposes after you arrive in Germany. In order to get the residence permit, you have to apply to the local immigration authorities before your visa expires.

How to do this is described on the next page.
