3 Local Authorities Seite 12 von 36 For the enrolment of your children at a school or kindergarten you have to contact the administration of the chosen school or kindergarten. There you can also inform yourself about the class to which your child will be assigned and whether additional German lessons are offered for children from foreign countries. For additional information concerning the school education of your children (Europe Schools with classes in different languages, recognition of certificates etc.) please contact Mrs. Sibilak. 3 Local Authorities 3.1 Registration Offices The first thing you should do at the MDC is to be registered in the personnel department. This will either be done by contract or by guest registration. You should ask your research group if you would work as a guest or as an MDC-employee. They or Mrs. Sibilak (who is also your direct contact person) should also help you with filling in the guest registration form or making a date for signing the respective contract. You can also contact the colleagues at the Personnel Department directly: Martina Bockhardt, Sonja Loboda, Martina Kühn, Bianca Maass, Katrin Jacoby, Barbara Wiskow; HvH (Building 84), rooms: 1214-1218; ph.: 2602, 2127, 2179, 4241, 2275, 3075 As soon as you have found accommodation in Germany you have to register with the residents' registration office (Einwohnermeldeamt). The German registration regulations require registration for everyone who changes residence within Germany. You have to inform the registration office whenever you change your address and, as well, when you leave Germany. Presenting your passport at the residents' registration office you will receive a Berlin registration (Anmeldebescheinigung – please pick up the necessary form in the office of Mrs. Sibilak and an income tax card (see section 3.1.2.), which you have to hand over to the MDC administration (personnel department) in case you get a work contract.

The forms (Antrag auf Erteilung einer Aufenthaltsgenehmigung - Application for a Residence Permit) can be obtained either from the MDC or the Foreigners’ Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde) at http://www.berlin.de/labo/auslaender/dienstleistungen/. The residence permit is based on the multiple entry visa in the passport. Scientists who are allowed to enter Germany without a visa must also apply for a residence permit. The Foreigners’ Registration Office limits the length of the residence permit in order to see, after a period of time, if reasons still exist to extend the permit. You have to bring along: • your passport • 2 passport photographs (biometric) • a confirmation of your host institute (i.e., MDC), that you are a fellow there • the registration certificate of the residents' registration office (Anmeldebescheinigung) • proof of health insurance • application for a Residence Permit (pick up the necessary form in the office of Mrs.) The Foreigners’ Registration Office in Berlin has the following address: Landeseinwohneramt Berlin - Abteilung Ausländerangelegenheiten - Friedrich-Krause-Ufer 24 13353 Berlin : Mondays / Tuesdays 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Thursdays 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. We recommend to arrive early at the Foreigners’ Registration Office, as crowds are the norm and waiting numbers are required to process applications (Waiting numbers are available after 7:00 a.m.) or by appointment via Mrs. Sibilak. You do not have to go there personally. You can organize this with our contact person in the personnel department, Mrs. Sibilak, MDH, room 4029, 3349, e-mail: sibilak@mdc-berlin.de. She will send your passport with the other necessary documents via the institute to the Foreigners’ Registration Office. For those who are accompanied by their families it is necessary to do the same procedure for their spouses and children. Parents and single parents must apply for residence permits for all their children living in Germany. Children from citizens of the EU and the EEA countries Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein are exempt from these rules until the child’s 16th year. However, children over 16 must have a residence permit. When applying for a residence permit for your spouse, you will have to present your marriage certificate. Parents are asked to bring their passports and marriage certificate as well as the passports, birth certificates and two passport pictures of every child requiring a residence permit. Please note that an official translator must translate the certificates into German. Every child applying for a residence permit requires a waiting number at the Foreigners’ Registration Office. However, it is also possible to have everything arranged with assistance 13
