How do I cancel my health insurance when leaving Germany?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 97 views

To cancel your health insurance when you're permanently leaving Germany, you first need to deregister your residence. This process is called Abmeldung. The Abmeldung certificate is crucial proof you'll need to cancel your insurance. Aim to complete your Abmeldung about a week before you leave, then use that document to contact your insurance provider.
