I moved — how and where do I register my new address?

Direct answer

Registering your address is compulsory within a short deadline after moving (days to weeks, depending on the country) and everything official flows from it: the ID number, tax, voting, health insurance, school places. Register at Upravna enota — prijava prebivališča / EMŠO (gov.si) — online with a digital ID in many countries, otherwise at Občina — medobčinski inšpektorat in redarstvo (skupnostobcin.si) — with ID and proof of the new address (rental contract, deed, or the landlord's or host's declaration). FURS — pritožba / obročno plačilo (08 200 1001) and the other agencies are informed automatically in most countries — but check your tax and benefit accounts after a few weeks.

❓ Frequently asked

The landlord will not give me a declaration

Can I register in a friend's flat?

I have no fixed address
