Moving Registration Procedures (Residence Change Notifications)

Moving registration procedures (residence change notifications) are required to transfer your resident registration when moving. The moving-in notification must be submitted within 14 days of starting residence at the new address, the moving-out notification before moving (or within 14 days after), and the address change notification within 14 days when moving within the same municipality. Each procedure requires different documents, and address changes for My Number cards must be processed simultaneously.
