Welcome
... to the Foreigners' Registration Office in the city of Münster.
The Foreigners' Registration Office is the first point of contact for all residence matters in the city of Münster. More than 60 employees ensure that all official procedures concerning entry and residence titles run as smoothly as possible. We check the granting of residence permits and settlement permits for you. In addition, we are also there for you if you are in possession of a toleration. And during the asylum procedure we issue and extend your residence permit.
You will find us near the Ludgerikreisel at Ludgeriplatz 4 in Stadthaus 2. If you have any questions about your stay in Münster, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Make an appointment
In order to be able to process your request as soon as possible, it is no longer possible to book an appointment independently. Instead, the appointment arrangement was changed to an appointment request. With this procedure, we would like to enable you to receive the extension of your residence permit or an appointment for the submission of the declaration of commitment as soon as possible.
Further information about the appointment request
When the residence permit gets here from the Federal Printing Office in Berlin, you will get a letter with your PIN- and PUK-number. We will send you an appointment to pick up your residence permit. Please do not come around to pick up your residence permit without an appointment.
If you are staying abroad and wish to enter Germany, you will find further information on travel restrictions on the website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, for Construction and Home Affairs.
At last, we have some suggestions for your personal visit:
- Please do not visit us without an appointment! If you have any questions concerning your stay in Germany, please contact us via phone (02 51/4 92–36 36) or e-mail. A personal visit isn’t possible, except you have an appointment!
- The entrance to the building is only possible if you wear a mask.
- If you have an appointment for you and your family members, please enter the office solo. Your family members can wait in the waiting room and you can enter the office one after another.
Thank you for your comprehension!
