Within 1 week before you depart and at the latest 2 weeks after having moved out you have to unregister with the city you live in. In Tübingen, you deregister at the local Bürgeramt: You can book an appointment to unregister in person at the Bürgeramt Tübingen (Online Terminvereinbarung > Abmeldung ins Ausland) or you can deregister directly online. Unfortunately, they do not have an English website and all information and forms are available in German only. To unregister online, you first must register in the service portal. After you are registered and logged in, search for "Wohnsitz abmelden" and enter the postal code of your address in Tübingen under "Ort".
Erasmus/CIVIS students: Check-out at the International Office and Study Duration Certificates
Some groups of exchange students must deregister in person with the Incoming Team: This check-out is important if your home university requires a form with the exact departure date, e.g. for the scholarship calculation. Usually the following applies:
Erasmus or CIVIS students must deregister in person
the Erasmus form (Certificate of Departure / Attendance etc.) is issued by your home university, not by us!
we sign such certificates at the check-out
Exchange students from overseas do not usually have to deregister in person
as their home university does not require a departure form
if a confirmation of deregistration is required in individual cases, please book an appointment for the check-out
Please note: We can confirm any departure only 5 days in advance. For example if you leave Tübingen on February 27, we can sign your departure form indicating February 27 as departure date at the earliest on February 22, but not on February 21. And please check if your home university demands the departure form to be signed even less than 5 days in advance
You can book an appointment for the check-out at our portal. If you do not deregister personally, no certificate can be issued.
Cancellation of the Bank Account & Health Insurance
If you have opened a bank account and taken out health insurance in Germany for your exchange stay, please do not forget to cancel both. Inform the bank or health insurance company that you are going back abroad.
