Upload your last invoice. We find every contract and post the German letter. Every guide says the Abmeldebescheinigung — the deregistration certificate — is what ends contracts early.
Leaving — Your movers are handled and your flights are booked. What is not handled are the contracts, the deposit and the accounts that stay open in your name after you land back home.
The three things only you have to do — Fuel card, utilities, car insurance — the ones no German service knows exist. All three fail the same way: one side considers the matter closed because the other side knows about it.
What happens if you just leave? — The honest answer, with figures — including what does not happen. Everyone asks this before they ask anything else, and almost nobody gets a straight answer.
Where do I actually stand? — Two dates, saved in your browser, and every other tool stops asking for them. Every tool on this site needs the same date, and none of them remembered it.
What should I do today? — One date in, at most three things out — because a list of thirty is a list nobody reads. There are around thirty things to do before you leave Germany, spread over six months.
Everything with a date on it — Twelve processes, sorted by what is due first. Utilities, vehicle, broadcasting fee, mail forwarding, bank account, deposit.
