Extract from Civil Registry: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Get an official document proving where you live to satisfy requirements for landlords or banks.
An Extract from the Civil Registry is an official document that provides formal proof of your current place of residence.
Who it's for
This service is designed for residents living within the jurisdiction of the local municipality. If you are a registered resident, you can request this document to verify your official address details.
What you get
When you request this service, you receive an official proof of residence. This document serves as a formal verification of your living situation. It is a standard requirement used to satisfy the administrative needs of third parties, such as landlords who need to verify your address for a rental agreement, or banks that require proof of residence to manage your accounts.
What it costs you
There is a small administrative fee associated with requesting this document. This fee covers the cost of processing your request and issuing the official record from the local registry.
The catch to know
It is important to check with the requesting party before you pay for and request a physical paper copy. Many institutions, including many banks, have updated their processes and now accept digital versions of this document. Verifying whether a digital version is sufficient can save you both time and the administrative fee.
