What is an Abmeldebestätigung?
When you complete your Abmeldung in Germany, you will be issued with a deregistration certificate, known as an Abmeldebestätigung.
Your Abmeldebestätigung is a simple A4 certificate that confirms that you have deregistered from your address in Germany. You can use this certificate to cancel your health insurance and any ongoing contracts that you have in Germany such as gym memberships, internet/mobile plans, gas and electricity contracts, etc.
For further details about how to obtain your Abmeldebestätigung, see our Abmeldung guide.
