“We were lucky to have Elliot on our side when we relocated to Berlin. He helped us all the way from navigating the German bureaucracy to picking a mobile operator.

Strongly recommend working with him”

Fahri Ö.

What’s included

In the session, which can be up to an hour long, we’ll establish your needs, and explain each of the different steps you would need to take, giving concrete information about the offices you would need to go to, the websites to visit, and the order in which things need to be done. Subjects covered could include:

  • Finding temporary accommodation
  • Getting yourself and your family registered
  • Getting health insurance
  • Getting your tax ID
  • Opening a bank account
  • Getting your home search application pack together
  • Finding and applying for long term apartments
  • Finding the best deals for utilities, internet and phone (including mobile)
  • Applying for child benefits and school fee vouchers
  • Finding and registering for preschool and school places
  • How to apply for a work permit or resident’s permit

It can take place via a video call, or face to face meeting at our offices near Frankfurter Allee station in Berlin. The cost is 160€ + VAT, but if you decide to go ahead with any of the packages which we offer, then we’ll credit the 160€ against that, so the call or meeting is effectively free.

About us

When Elliot moved to Berlin in 2012, he didn’t know where to start. He made mistakes which meant everything was more difficult than it should have been.

Since then, he’s gone from almost zero German language skills to being able to speak the language of bureaucracy. He understands how German bureaucracy works – and more importantly, how it doesn’t. The quicker you get the admin sorted, the quicker you can enjoy life in Berlin!

He created sorted.berlin to help others reach the goal faster and more easily.
