Hi there everyone,

I have searched the forum up and down for an answer to this and found nothing. I have been living in Zurich since May 2011 and I am now planning to move to Aargau. I was wondering what the process was. Do I have to just simply register with the new Gemeinde or do I have to deregister with my current Gemeinde? Also I am buying a car in the next few weeks before I move, so should I change address with Gemeinde/Strassenverkehrsamt before buying the car, as I would be moving 2 weeks after buying the car. Hope someone can clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.

Dear Catháir

You must deregister with your old Gemeinde and re-register with your new one. Modern authorities should have the forms online - otherwise I advise you to call them directly.

Concerning buying a car - you will first have to register the car with the Strassenverkehrsamt where you live now and then re-register it in the new canton after you move.

I hope I was able to help a little bit.

Hi International
i would ask you question about the answer you gave
when you have to deregistering from you gemeine
a week before or the day before you move to the new canton.
As for the new canton someone told me it s 15 days for you to registrate.
Thank You
Sorry my translation dosn t work on my computer.

Dear tititita

I deregistered from my former Gemeinde the day I left and reregistered a day after I arrived at the new Gemeinde.

Well you do generally have two weeks time to change the registration of your car when you change cantons - thats true. I completely forgot about that, I usually do it immediately as you pay a CHF 400 fine if you are even only a day overdue... Sorry for not saying that beforehand.
