Confirmed reception points: 100Documents and requirementsMoving and registering a new address
Register the new address for you and your children, arrange required consents and check the result.
This route describes the general procedure. Some steps depend on your circumstances and may involve different authorities. Check the current requirements for each service before applying.
Getting started
Registration depends on the property address and responsible community. First identify who is moving, the children’s ages and the basis for living there; these determine the documents and application route.
What to do
-
Identify everyone registering
Check the general procedure for adults and children aged 14 or over. A legal representative applies for a child under 14 under separate rules.
-
Check online eligibility or choose a CNAP
Diia address declarations have applicant, property and territorial restrictions. For an in-person application, use the registration authority or CNAP serving the new address.
-
Prepare residence grounds and consents
For an adult, prepare evidence of a right to reside or the required consents. Check the separate rules for children, co-owners and mortgaged property.
-
Apply for the new address
Confirm the fee payment details. If needed, request simultaneous deregistration from the previous address; a separate deregistration application is then unnecessary.
-
Check the address in an extract
After registration, obtain a residence extract if needed. Check each applicant’s address and details, and ask the community to resolve discrepancies.
Document checklist
Tick the documents you have prepared. This is a general checklist: items marked “If applicable” are only needed in the relevant circumstances. Check the service requirements for the final document list. You do not need to upload documents to this website.
Things to consider
- The general deadline after changing residence is 30 calendar days; check any special circumstances separately.
- An IDP certificate and residence registration serve different purposes. Registering an address does not itself confer ownership.
Continue to individual procedures
The “Moving and registering a new address” route connects several applications. Open the relevant procedure for your next step and check where to apply; optional actions depend on your circumstances. Checklist ticks help you organise preparation and do not confirm that an institution has completed an action.
