Abmeldung: deregistration of your address in Hannover

What should I know when deregistering my address in Hannover?

• Unfortunately, there is no actual digital deregistration process provided by the administration in Hannover
• You have to request your deregistration in person at one of your local registration offices in Hannover, do it by mail (post) or use our english & digital service if you already moved abroad
• Further, you have to follow certain steps and need to understand what registration offices in Hannover ask for in order to process your deregistration request
• Last but not least, you have to adhere certain deadlines of the German law

How can I deregister while I am still in Hannover?

In person: You can easily deregister your residency in Hannover by going to a local registration office (Bürgeramt) and inform them that you are moving abroad. Below this article you will find a list of the respective registration offices in Hannover where you can currently book appointments. To book an appointment, check out their official appointment booking website here.

The only documents you need for this process are…

• your valid passport (including your visa or permit of residence if you are from a non-EU country)
• passports of all persons moving away in case of a deregistration of additional family members

In case you are moving abroad, you will probably be asked about your follow-up address abroad. However, the most important information the registration office asks for is the country that you are moving to.

Once a local registration office in Hannover accepts all required documents, you will receive a deregistration confirmation right away and the deregistration process is completed.

Via mail (post) or email: In case you already left Hannover/ Germany you can also complete the process by sending the required information and documents by mail or email to one of the registration offices in Hannover. Below this article you will find a list of the respective registration offices in Hannover where you can book appointments.

The only documents you need for this process are…

• a copy of your passport 
• passport copies of all family members who are to be deregistered from that address 
• a sheet of paper with the following information:
  
  • Name(s) and date(s) of birth of the person(s) moving out
  • Move-out-date
  • Address of the apartment/ house you are moving out of
  • Address of the new apartment/ house (at least the country of departure)
  • signature(s) of the person(s) moving out
    

• a statement that you wish to receive a deregistration confirmation
• address where you would like to receive the deregistration confirmation

Once a local registration office in Hannover receives all required documents, the registration office will process your deregistration. This usually takes 2-3 weeks. However, currently due to COVID-19 delays are possible (up to 8 weeks). If you have not heard from them after 4 weeks, we suggest calling them directly. If no documents are missing the registration office will send the deregistration confirmation to the address you are deregistering per default. Hence it makes sense to indicate a friends’ address where you would like to receive it.

At which registration office (Bürgeramt) can I request my deregistration in Hannover?

You can request your deregistration at the registration office of the city or municipality where you are registered as a primary residence. The easiest way to find your respective registration office is by looking at your registration confirmation.

If you are registered in Hannover with your main residence, you can deregister at the registration office of your choice in all Hannover, regardless of your district of residence. Here, you can also deregister your secondary residence, if it is located outside of Hannover.
