The moving to Berlin checklist, done for you.

A fixed fee for the package, agreed before we start. Official charges pass through at cost: the Bürgeramt fee, a certified translation, the Rundfunkbeitrag itself. Tell us your arrival date and who's travelling with you, and we'll quote. A family of four is more appointments than one person, and the quote itemises them.

Yes. We book the Anmeldung, prepare your file, meet you at the Bürgeramt and handle the counter in German while you sit beside us. You leave with the Meldebescheinigung in your hand.

Once you have an address and the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from your landlord, it's a single appointment. Booking the slot is the whole difficulty. Slots are released in small batches and taken within minutes, so we watch for the release and hold one inside your fourteen-day window.

That's the point of the package. We build the checklist, gather your documents and secure the appointment while you're still packing, so the first fortnight becomes a set of confirmations rather than a scramble. Most of the chain is standing before you land.

Then we speak for you. Every form, letter and counter conversation runs in German and gets explained back in plain English the day it happens. German offices correspond by post and expect a reply within a stated period, so a letter nobody reads becomes a fine nobody expected.

Especially so. Registering a spouse and children multiplies both the appointments & the forms, and the Kindergeld claim and school enrolment sit on top of that. We handle them together and in the right order, so nobody in the household is left uninsured or unregistered while the rest of you are sorted.

The Anmeldung needs a registered address, so the flat has to come first. If you're still looking, the search runs ahead of this package and the arrival work begins the day the landlord hands over the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung. Plenty of people engage both at once and treat them as one project.
