​Residents' Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt)​​


If you are staying in Germany for more than two months, you must register in the town or city where you are living. The authority responsible for this is the Residents’ Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt).
 
All students must register with the Residents’ Registration Office or the relevant municipal authorities (Bürgerbüro) within two week of moving into their accommodation. The following documents are required for this:
  • Passport / ID card
  • ​Registration form 
You are obliged to inform the Residents' Registration Office or the municipal authorities immediately of any change of address and you should a​lso notify them when you finally leave Düsseldorf.​
​

​​​Opening a bank account


Opening a bank account at any (savings) bank in Germany is easy. A current account is normally free of charge for students. Setting up a bank account makes good sense. Many of the payments you will need to make, e.g. rent, health insurance etc. can be done by bank transfer.

To open a bank account you require:

  • ​Your ID card or passport
  • ​A permanent address in Germany
  • Your student ID card from HSD
The team of the International Office is happy to help you.
