Support with mandatory registration in Germany

Packimpex will guide you through the registration process after your arrival

After you move to Germany, Packimpex will support you and your family register in person at your local town hall.

This is a mandatory step in the relocation process and something that needs to be taken care of within 14 days of moving to Germany.

We will provide you with a checklist of the documents you require for the registration process, arrange an appointment with the local authorities, accompany you in person, and facilitate communication with the authorities.

Allowing Packimpex to guide you ensures that you understand what is happening at every stage of the process and that you and your family are properly registered without any issues.

Our Values

“I wish someone had told me how tough it is to find a home in Switzerland, we were not prepared for that. We had to wait for 3 months in temporary accommodation until we finally managed to get the house we want. I don’t speak German so finding a home by myself was out of the question”

“My last landlord billed me for things I did not damage. The next I moved, I hired a professional relocation consultant to pay attention to the most minute of details and to record everything in such detail that I am completely confident i will never get ripped off in the future”
