What is a Bürgeramt?

A Bürgeramt is a local citizens’ office or town hall where you can complete a wide array of administrative tasks in Germany.

Often referred to as a Bürgerbüro, Bürgerdienst, Meldebehörde or Einwohnermeldeamt, your local citizens’ office is your one-stop-shop for completing your Anmeldung, certifying documents, exchanging your driving licence, obtaining a police check/certificate of good conduct (Führungszeugnis), etc.

In short, you can complete most admin tasks in Germany at your local Bürgeramt.
