• Evidence of the hazard, if applicable

As a rule, an informal application is required.

• In order to have your details blocked, you must provide the local registration authority with credible reasons which clearly show that you or other persons are at risk.
• A check of your details must confirm the danger you have stated.

We recommend that you contact the responsible office before applying and find out whether a block is possible in your case.

The information block is entered on application. When submitting the application, you must provide facts and credible evidence as to why the provision of information could endanger your life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection. The application can be made in writing or in person at the authority.

Your details will then be checked by the competent authority. If this check shows that the relevant requirements have been met, an information block will be noted in the residents' register for 2 years, which applies to all types of information from the residents' register to private individuals and non-public bodies.

The block only applies to the residence for which it was requested.

You can have the information block extended after this period has expired.

The information block ends after 2 years and can be extended on request.
