| For EU citizens, a visit to the Stadthaus (Zürich - Stadthausquai 17) involved filling out the inevitable A4 form then a visit to the Steueramt across the road to make sure everything is above board financially (no doing runners etc.). I have an accountant (Steuerberater/Treuhand), so I signed a form giving him authority to act for me should there be any monies due, Tax 2009 etc. Across the road again to the Stadthaus again to deliver the piece of paper the Steueramt gave me.. The Stadthaus peeple then gave me another piece of paper to take to the Amtshaus in Helvetiaplatz (Tram no. 8 from Paradeplatz). All in all, the whole process took about two hours and cost CHF 60,00 for two people. A whole morning with the swiss civil service, CHF 60,00 is reasonable.
All misspelt words are my own dooing, honestly.

So I took myself off to the Stadthaus this morning to de-register, after visiting Kreisburo 11 on Friday to be told deregistration happens only at the Stadthaus. The gentleman I spoke to in the Stadthaus was very pleasant and duly sent me over to the Steueramt to get the piece of paper re my taxes. Then I met a lovely lady in the Steuramt office who took one look at my apprehensive face and broke into English, gave me a form to sign to give an accountant (that I found through the "find an accountant" thread on here) power of attorney ("Vollmacht").
When I went back to the Stadthaus with my stamped piece of paper, he gave me an "Abmeldebestatigung", and wished me luck in the future, cost CHF 30. No trip to the Amtshaus was necessary (that I was told of).
Rather pleasant and definitely nowhere near as traumatic as I was expecting. But have I missed something re the Amtshaus?
