Moving House
There are a few things to consider when you move house...
Mail Forwarding
Registering New Address
Since your study location supposedly is where you spend most of your time, you should register that as your primary residence. Please go to the registration office within one week of moving in and bring your identity card or passport, rental agreement and a confirmation from your landlord (“Wohnungsgeberbestätigung”).
Public Broadcasting License Fee
On 1st January 2013, the GEZ became the ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice. The public broadcasting license fee is now charged per household rather than per device. This means that tenants who share a unit are jointly and severally liable and must share the license fee, even if only one of them receives a letter from the Beitragsservice. Information on fees, online registration, change of address or exemption at www.rundfunkbeitrag.de
Registering Change of Address for Your Car
Information, registration and change of address at www.zulassung-ulm.de or on the website of your City.
