After granted refugee or humanitarian status, within 14 days you must find housing and go through compulsory civil registration in the respective municipality.

How to make a civil registration

• Find a home with an address where you and your family can be registered. The property owner must agree to the registration. It is advisable to sign a rental agreement before registering at the address.
• Inform the State Agency for Refugees about the address of your new home: The Agency will issue a letter to the municipality where it is located.
• Register with the following documents:
• Decision to grant refugee or humanitarian status or asylum;
• A letter from the State Agency for Refugees to the mayor of the respective municipality;
• Registration card for State Agency for Refugees
• Application for permanent and current address
• A list of all members of your family – parents, spouse, children, siblings (can be written in advance on a white sheet);
• Rental agreement with the owner of the property, if you have one;
• A copy of the title deed of the property;
• Declaration of consent by the owner of the property;
• Document for paid administrative fee, the amount of which varies by municipality.

The property owner must be present at the registration to sign the declaration of consent. As an exception, a notarized declaration may be submitted instead.

Administrative fee is also necessary to be paid.
