A KVR appointment can mean several different things. Address registration is handled by the Bürgerbüro, while residence matters go to the Service Office for Immigration and Citizenship (SZE). Start with the service you need.
Choose the right service
Write down your goal: register an address, renew a residence permit, collect an eAT card or submit a declaration of commitment. Check whether your home falls within the City of Munich or the separate Munich district.
Application first or appointment first?
For a residence permit application or renewal in Munich, submit the appropriate online application first. You do not need an appointment to apply; the SZE invites you after reviewing the application. Some other services, including collection of a completed eAT card, offer direct booking.
Do it yourself: the practical steps
Open the official city website and select the exact service.
Read its eligibility criteria, document list and submission instructions.
Book a date if offered, or complete the online application if required first.
Check your personal details and email address.
Save the confirmation, reference number and submitted files together; check your spam folder.
Before your visit
Use the official checklist and separate originals from copies. Take documents specifically requested in your invitation. For family appointments, check which people the booking covers.
When no appointments are available
Check the official system again and look for an online submission route. Searching for an appointment does not replace submitting a time-sensitive application. Explain any deadline issue through the responsible office’s official contact channel.
