Rent Accomodation

Register residence
Everybody who moves to Germany must register. For this you have to fill out the registration form and landlord confirmation. Get them signed and take them to your local registration office.
Health insurance
Everyone who is registered in Germany is obliged to have health insurance. If you first arrive, it is acceptable to have travel health insurance. However, if you are intending on staying to work or study in Germany, then you must get proper health insurance.
Bank Account
Once you live and work in Germany, it is most convenient to open a local bank account. But which bank to choose? Do you prefer personal customer support in a branch office? Or perhaps you find it most important to have all services in English?

What I really liked about this online form is that you are able to save the form and return to it later, in case you do not have time to fill it out in one session.
Little note: Filling in all the fields of the anmeldung-form took me a little longer than I thought. I have to enter whole family details & need all passports.
So my advice to other users would be: Be sure to have these details at hand when you fill out this form

In their accordion, they explain how you can register without using this paid online form – which I think is kind of awesome. You only pay, if you want to support the project and/or want to make use of the translation service.
As for my own experience with using the paid registration form on here: I received all official forms and a detailed step by step guide. That’s what I call smooth sailing.

This website is the most extensive resource with regards to Residence Registration in Germany I’ve come across. Big thumbs up for the research that went into this project, guys. In short, what happened: I filled out the registration form on this website, made the payment, received the PDF with the official German registration form via email, printed it, and follow the step-by-step guide. Finally a project that serves a need!
