Step 1. Collecting documents
This is one of the most difficult stages, which we recommend doing initially before registering with Bürgerbüro. Let’s look at the background check list in as much detail as possible.
Citizen’s certificate and document
These are documents confirming the identity of a foreigner and his status:
- international passport;
- residence permit: visas proof, residence permits, etc.;
- family data: verify marriage certificate, birth certificate of children.
Document not in German must have a sworn translation. Issued by non-German registry offices.
Step 2. Make an appointment
Currently, online registration appointment at the desired institution is becoming increasingly common. However, telephone registration or a live queue may still be maintained in small settlements.
It is better to clarify the recording method in advance. For Nuremberg city, online registration is possible.
Step 3. Receiving Meldebestätigung
This is the simplest stage. On the appointed date, you need to appear at the appropriate institution with a package of collected proof documents. Depending on the recording method, reception may be carried out in different rooms. You need to check on the spot.
After background check and submitting documents, company registration certificate is usually carried out immediately. The results will be the entry of data into a national database, and the person registering will receive the already mentioned document— company registration certificate – Meldebestätigung.
