I am now registered!!! Whoop!
Who would've thought it was going to be so easy? Not me. Just in case anyone else is wondering what registering is (as I had no idea) It's basically telling the State (capital's show importance) where you're living while you are in Germany.
It would be nice to have some simple guidelines out there somewhere -anywhere!- telling a person whether or not they're supposed to register, in fact at the same time as you get your visa would be a nice idea, send you your passport back with a wee little "steps you need to take" booklet...
I digress, my point being, if you are in Germany on anything more then a tourist visa, you need to register at your local council.
And after some helpful hints from a friend that's been-there-before turns out registering is not even that hard! One form later (that the lady we were dealing with filled most of) I am now registered.
Germany knows exactly where I'm living! I can't hide!
I've also had recommended to me this book: Living and working in Germany which I've decided to purchase and will hopefully find very useful!
