De-registering from Austria

Anyone who leaves Austria and thereby gives up their local residence must deregister within three days of giving up their main residence. The authority^{German text} responsible for this deregistration is the registration authority where the registration was made. Deregistration must take place in the municipality responsible for the main residence. In Vienna, it is possible to deregister from a Viennese residence at any Viennese registration office, regardless of the district of residence.

When deregistering, the new address is also submitted to the relevant authority. If the exact details of the new address are not known, at least the destination country can be specified, e.g. Germany.

If you wish to retain your Austrian residence, any other places of residence must also be reported to the registration authority. This will ensure that important documents can be forwarded to you if necessary. Mail forwarding order: It is advisable to set up a mail forwarding order or a post office box. If the definitive new address only becomes known during the stay abroad, it is recommended to contact the nearest Austrian representative authority (embassy, consulate general, honorary consulate) to provide the current address and any subsequent address changes, or simply to register online.
