De-registration at the citizen office (Bürgerbüro /Bürgeramt)
Anyone who moves out of an apartment and does not move into a new apartment in Germany must deregister with the citizen office ("Bürgerbüro", Abmeldung Wohnsitz) within two weeks of moving out.
Deregistration is possible at the earliest one week before moving out.

De-registration / Exmatriculation
at HFT Stuttgart
Please note:
Not everyone has to submit an application for de-registration and the corresponding form.
You will be automatically de-registered at the end of the semester if you...
- are an exchange student for one semester
- Do not pay your re-registration fees
Application on de-registration has to be handed in only if you if end your exchange semester several months before the actual end of the semester (this applies f.ex. for the US students who depart in December)
De-register (Exmatriculation) yourself at the HFT by using this form:
Please send the completed form immediately to studsek@hft-stuttgart.de
You will then receive a certificate of de-registration from the Student Administration Office which you need for further steps.
Exmatriculation will automatically end your membership of your health insurance by the end of the semester.
Health Insurance
Visit the office of your health insurance company for cancelling your health insurance membership and show them:
- de-registration confirmation from the citizen office "Bürgerbüro" (Abmeldung Wohnsitz)
- de-registration certificate of HFT Stuttgart
It may save you having to pay an extra month of membership fee.
Accommodation
Make an appointment with the Hall Manager of your student dormitory well in advance for room and key handover.
The Studierendenwerk will return the deposit to your bank account (it takes about 6 weeks) after room and keys have been handed over in person.
Bank Account
If you don't want to keep your German bank account (once you are no longer a student you may have to pay a monthly fee), you should contact the Studierendenwerk at least a week before you move out and ask whether you can
pick up the deposit in cash after handing over the room.
If requested cancel the bank account a few days before you have to leave directly.
