Melderegister - Melderegisterauskunft für Eigentümer und Wohnungsgeber beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
You can apply free of charge for a "Melderegisterauskunft in besonderen Fällen" (register extract in special cases) about the persons living in your home if you can credibly show a legal interest. This right to information applies both to owners and to landlords (Vermieter/Wohnungsgeber) of a property, where the owner of the property is not also the landlord of that property. You will receive the surname, first name, and doctoral degree of the persons currently registered (angemeldet) at your address. Restrictions for older registrations • The information can only be provided if the property owner is recorded in the register of residents (Melderegister) under Section 3(2) No. 10 of the Bundesmeldegesetz (BMG, Federal Registration Act). • This rule has only applied since 01.11.2015. For residents who were already registered at the property before this date, this entry is usually missing. In these cases the registration authority (Meldebehörde) cannot reliably determine who the property owner is and therefore cannot provide any information. Process • Apply for a Melderegisterauskunft (register extract) about the persons living in your home. You can do this informally in writing by post, or, in urgent cases, in person on site. • The registration authority (Meldebehörde) checks your application. • You receive the Melderegisterauskunft by post.
