The registration office issues a certificate of residence upon request. This certificate serves as proof that you are registered at a specific address. The certificate of residence is often required by government agencies, employers, banks, insurance companies, or other organizations as proof of your current residential address.

As a general rule, the certificate of residence is issued only to the person concerned. It can be requested in writing or electronically.

Contents of the Certificate of Residence

The certificate of residence typically contains the following data stored in the registration records:

• Last name

Extended Certificate of Residence

Upon request, additional data stored in the registration records may be included in the registration certificate, provided that this data is necessary for the purpose you are pursuing.
