Why if I'm still serving do I need a "Freizügigkeitsbescheinigung" to get a new handy contract?? This is the first time ever that i've had this request from a service provider & i've had several mobile phone contracts since i've been in Germany (14 years)! Are they taking the biscuit or can i genuinely got hold of a Freizügigkeitsbescheinigung?  All helpful advice welcome! Many Thanks. |

I'm not even in the Forces and I didn't need a Freiwotsitsname to get a Handy contract.

Never heard of it. Talk to your local hive. Oh, and BTW, welcome to The Brits.  |

Good advice from LB. Stay with folks who understand forces eg HIVE, and don't sign a contract if you don't understand it and it's in German. You need to watch out for cancellation fees if you're posted out of BFG, it can be a nightmare if you get it wrong- my Sergeant had a real problem trying to cancel when he was short-toured for compassionate reasons. And welcome to the board  |

A Freizügigbescheinigung is relatively new. It's a certificate you have to have if you intend to live in Germany longer than three months. I've been living in Germany for four years and I'm going to the local Bürgeramt today get one. You need to bring your passport, Anmeldebescheinigung, birth certificate and marriage certificate, probably rent contract too. Better to bring everything just in case! I heard about it about 6 months ago and you usually need it for employment or even if your going to take a language course.
Hope this helps!
Regards Claire

According to the research I did when my aufenthaltserlaubnis expired, it is essentially a certificate to certify that you don't need a certificate to live in Germany..... Don't you just love Germany A valid EU passport is as good. Also according to rule 17856 para 37 (made this up) you need to carry your passport with you at all times - or you can carry this freizugikeitsetc. instead. Didn't make this up though - although I have not fully verified my sources (the other side  ) |

I always have some kind of ID on me -- credit card, driver's licence, etc. -- but if they want to see my passport, they're going to have to bloody well wait until I've gone home to get it! They think I'm going to risk losing it by carrying it around with me all the time? I don't think so, Fritz.

Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience.

Claire, you do not need to take all of that. GETTING REGISTERED The host Member State may require you to register with the relevant authorities. The deadline for registration may not be less than three months from the date of your arrival. Your right of residence is evidenced by issue of a registration certificate. Community legislation no longer obliges Union citizens to obtain residence permit as proof of the fact that you have the right of residence. You have this right because you meet the conditions and not because the host Member State “permitted” you to reside there. Possession of the registration certificate may under no circumstances be made a precondition for the exercise of a right or the completion of an administrative formality, as entitlement to rights may be attested by any other means of proof. What is important is that you have the right rather than having an official paper to that effect. For the registration certificate to be issued, the host Member State may only require that you present a valid identity card or passport[1] and a confirmation of engagement from the employer or a certificate of employment.http://ec.europa.eu/youreurope/nav/en/citizens/living/right-residence-more-3-months/for-workers/index_en.htmlYou can also see from this that you don't really need a piece of paper to show you have the right to live here either. I've lived here 6 years and never had one of these since the end of the green piece of paper thingy. Also never been asked to produce one. Always pays to know your rights. |

If he is still serving under the SOFA agreement he doesn't need it.
I used to carry my passport around and I lost it. I was advised that it is not necessary. You have to carry some means of identification. the new European driving licence suffices. Again, if he is still serving, his MOD 90 is adequate.

Love it, a certificate so you don't need a certificate In our local council building you have to get a ticket from the machine, wait until your number is called then the lady at the desk tells you which queue to get in, Queuing to be told which queue to get in tests your patience to the limits. |

Only in Germany but hey there is nothing worse than standing in a queue only to get to the desk and find out you've been stood in the wrong line  |
