Reporting Obligation

The reporting obligation means that residents in Germany or Austria are required to report specific information, such as their residence, to the relevant authorities. For example, you must register at the local registration office within two weeks after moving.

For residents in Germany and Austria, it is important to meet deadlines to avoid fines. According to § 17 of the Federal Registration Act (BMG), you must register after a move, or you may face penalties. Common mistakes include missing the deadline or reporting incorrect information.
