If you change your place of residence or move to another apartment in the same place of residence, you must re-register within two weeks of your move. You can do this at the town hall’s registration office in your new place of residence.
You only need to de-register if you give up a secondary residence or move abroad.
For questions regarding residence permits, work permits, naturalisation, etc., please contact the Office for Public Order and Foreigners’ Affairs at the District Administration. You can find the relevant contact person here.

When you open a bank account in Germany, you will normally be asked for your tax identification number. This will be sent to you by the Federal Central Tax Office shortly after you have registered at your place of residence.
You need to keep this document very carefully because your personal number will be required for all financial matters (taxes, income) until the end of your life. Banks and tax offices can use this number to identify you.
Children are also provided with such a number even if they only need it later.
You can decide for yourself where you want to open a bank account.
