A block on information in the register of residents is only entered under strict conditions.

To do this, you must demonstrate that you or another person may be at risk of harm to life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection as a result of the information in the register.

• In order to have your data blocked, you must provide the local registration authority with credible reasons which clearly show that you or other persons are at risk.
• A check of your details must confirm the risk you have cited.

We recommend that you contact the responsible office before applying and find out whether a block is possible in your case.

The information block is entered upon application. When submitting the application, you must state the facts and provide credible evidence as to why the provision of information could endanger your life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection. The application can be made in writing or in person at the authority.

Your details will then be checked by the competent authority. If this check shows that the relevant requirements have been met, an information block will be noted in the population register for 2 years, which applies to all types of population register information provided to private individuals and non-public bodies.

The block only applies to the apartment for which it was requested.
