Can I do my Anmeldung without actually living at my friend's place?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 52 views

To complete your Anmeldung (address registration) in Germany, you must genuinely reside at that address. Based on community experiences, registering without actually living at your friend's place is illegal. If discovered, both you and your friend could face substantial fines. A 'Tenancy confirmation' document from the landlord is absolutely required for registration.
