Definition
Before March 1, 2002, the confirmation document was officially called the registration form , until it was replaced on that key date by the name confirmation of registration that can be found today . The authorities now differentiate between the application form for the report itself ( registration form “new” ) and the confirmation issued after a successful application ( confirmation of the report , registration form “old” ). In colloquial language, however, no difference is made. Service providers (telephone companies, energy supply companies, etc.) usually require a “registration slip” to be presented when concluding a contract. However, submission is no longer necessary for authorities, as all authorities now have access to the central population register . The (private) vehicle registration offices now also verify the main residence online. The costs incurred for each query will be passed on to the applicant.
