Registration of residence
Why do I need to register my place of residence?
A registered place of residence guarantees you access to public services and benefits. For example, your place of residence needs to be registered in order for you to secure places in schools and kindergartens for your children, to vote in elections and to find yourself a GP. Moreover, your income tax is received by the local government area in which you live.
