Information in English

In late January 2023, the temporary right of residence was extended to 4 March 2024. This is an ex lege right of residence, which exists independent of the issuance of a new identity card for displaced persons. This means that the right of residence remains no matter what validity date is stated on this identity card, i.e. in any event it continues to exist after 3 March 2023. The identity cards with the extended validity date will be automatically sent to the displaced persons’ addresses stored in the Central Population Register (ZMR), without their having to file an application.
