Background information
The electronic residence registration system was developed by the City of Hamburg on a one-for-all basis and made available to administrations throughout Germany for shared use. It is constantly being expanded and made available to more and more groups of people. The municipality of Göllheim has adapted the service and linked it to the electronic system of the residents' registration office so that all applications can be processed directly in digital form.
