Register of residents - entry of an information block

We recommend that you contact the responsible office before applying and find out whether a block is possible in your case.

The information block is entered upon application. When submitting the application, you must provide facts and credible evidence as to why the provision of information may jeopardise your life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection. The application can be made in writing or in person at the authority.

Your details will then be checked by the competent authority. If this check shows that the relevant requirements have been met, an information block will be noted in the population register for 2 years, which applies to all types of population register information provided to private individuals and non-public bodies.

The block only applies to the flat for which it was requested.

You can have the information block extended after the time has expired.

• In order to have your data blocked, you must provide the local registration authority with credible reasons that clearly show that you or other persons are at risk.
• A review of your information must confirm the risk you have cited.

• Evidence of the hazard, if applicable

• § Section 51 (1) of the Federal Registration Act (BMG)
• Number 17.2 and 21.4 General Administrative Regulation on the Implementation of the Federal Registration Act (BMGVwV)

As a rule, an informal application is required.

A block on information in the register of residents is only entered under strict conditions.

To do this, you must provide credible evidence that you or another person may be at risk to life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection as a result of information from the register of residents.
