I notify my family and friends of my successful arrival in Innsbruck

REGISTRATION AT THE CITY OF INNSBRUCK (within the first 3 days in Innsbruck)

All students must register as residents of the city of Innsbruck within the first 3 days after arrival. You can either pick up the required form ("Meldezettel") directly at the town hall or download it from the website of the city of Innsbruck: https://www.help.gv.at/Portal.Node/hlpd/public/resources/documents/meldezettel.pdf

In some dormitories you receive the "Meldezettel" when moving in.

Fill out the form and sign it. Have it then signed by the dormitory administration or your landlord.

Take your passport (or identity card for EU/EEA citizens) with you and hand in the form personally in the city hall, at "Melde- und Einwohnerwesen". The address is: Maria-Theresien-Straße 18, 1st floor

You will then receive your confirmation of registration (“Meldebestätigung”).

REGISTRATION FOR STAYS LONGER THAN 3 MONTHS (students from EU/EEA countries)

For students from EU/EEA countries as well as for students from non-EU/EEA countries who are also citizens of an EU/EEA country (dual citizenship) and also hold a valid EU/EEA passport:

If your stay lasts more than 3 months, you must register with the "Melde- und Einwohnerwesen" within the first 4 months of your stay to apply for a so-called "Anmeldebescheinigung” (“registration certificate").

The following documents must be submitted to the competent authority: 

• Valid identity card or passport

• evidence of adequate financial resources = evidence that at least € 400,- are paid into my account (e.g. bank statement, Erasmus grant confirmation or letter of commitment of a parent)
• as well as the proof of registration at Innsbruck University.

This permit costs € 15 and is compulsory. € 250 fine is possible!
