How To Do Mandatory Residence Registration in Vienna?
If you move to Austria from abroad or if you move to a new home (flat or house) within Austria, you need to register (anmelden) at your new address within three days of moving in. The property management (Hausverwaltung), owner or lessor of the house or flat you live in will not do this for you.

If you move out of a flat or house, you need to de-register (abmelden) within three days before or after moving out. You can register or de-register at any Residence Registration Service Centre (Meldeservicestelle) in Vienna. (German)
The staff of the Residence Registration Service Centre will check your documents and record your new home address in the Central Residence Register (Zentrales Melderegister). Once the residence registration procedure is completed, you will receive a residence registration certificate (Bestätigung der Meldung).
