The papers you'll be asked for
Again and again. Know what each one is and where it comes from.
Meldebescheinigung
Proof you registered your address — the Bürgeramt hands it to you at the Anmeldung. Banks and employers ask for it.
Steuer-ID
Your tax ID for life — it arrives by post after a first Anmeldung, and your employer needs it before the first payslip.
Mitgliedsbescheinigung
Membership proof from your Krankenkasse — employers ask for it when you start a job.
Schufa-Datenkopie
The free data copy of your credit record — landlords expect a Schufa document with flat applications.
