The registration office of the city or municipality where you are registered with your primary or secondary residence will issue you with a registration certificate upon request.

The simple registration certificate, often referred to as proof of residence, contains the following information:

• Surname
• Previous names
• First names, indicating the commonly used first name
• Doctorate
• Religious name, stage name
• Date and place of birth, and if born abroad, also the country
• Current addresses, marked as primary and secondary residences

Certificates for other persons can only be sent to the person concerned in writing or handed over upon presentation of a power of attorney.
 

Upon request, an extended registration certificate may be issued, which may contain data in accordance with Section 3 (1) of the Federal Registration Act, with the exception of information and transmission blocks. The scope of data in the extended registration certificate may also be less than that in the simple registration certificate.
