Hi,
I have moved to a new address inside city of zurich, but haven't informed the new municipality about change of address in a prescribed time of two weeks. As a final result, i missed the deadline and got a chf100 fine from the municipality.
What bothers me is that I informed my initial municipality about that I'll move to other district. They have told me that they would inform the new municipality about the address change, so I wouldn't have to go through all the buerocracy again. What happened next is that the new municipality sent me a request that I have to inform them about my new address. To my surprise, they didn't auto register me, altough they got the data provided to them by previous municipality (how else would they know my new address then?). But the most bizzare is the fact that they have sent me adress change request exactly one week after the deadline, like they would want me to miss the deadline and pay the fine.
And plus they have latently threatened me that whether I pay the fine or can complain in a court,but if i would try the latter, I would lose and only pay more (maybe it was just a BS threat).
They had also quoted that I had broke swiss law, but this is such BS. I lived in a canton in french part before and nobody was BSing with law quotes, fines and other stuff, plus everything was done in the same day. Here Im waiting 3 months just to get the new issue of new permit...
Don't know but this ZH seems to be very anal and it's like everybody wants to get my money, regardless if moral or not.
Because you need to change the address in your permit as well and for that you need to go to the townhall or whatever it is called in Zurich.
euh?
I never got a new permit while moving.
hope you didn't forget about your car
You moved within the City of Zurich? Like Kreis 5 to 9? The City of Zurich is one large single municipality. In Citz you must register at the coresponding Kreisbüro where you move to. There is no deregistration needed at the old Kreisbüro. Maybe you misunderstood something, and they said that the new place can pull the data from the old place?

Maybe they said you could do it online?

From your landlord which must, in canton Zurich, inform the commune of any new tenant.

You have no address on your permit? Mine shows my address and that ́s why I had to change that one piece of paper.
In my case I did when I changed Cantons, but not when I moved within the Canton.
As you would expect.
Why not? If your address changes?
We got stamps on the back of the existing permit
As well me and my wife always hand over passport and permit when registering on the new address, we both still have the first address on it since we moved in and this is after a total of 5 moves for us, and nobody ever mentioned anything, also when using the permit for other things at the kreisburo, city hall, bank or migrations service nobody cares about that adres.
So yes I have an address on my permit, it is an old address, and it is of no interest it seems.
It depends when. We moved 3 months ago, a wee stamp on the back. Address was crossed out, new one not added.
Anyway, I'll paraphrase OP
Similar case here... my permit contains my old address, and the new address is only in the Meldebestätigung, which I obviously do not carry with me everyday (ok, I do not carry my permit with me either ). When I registered the change at the Kreisbüro I asked: "but, I will get a new permit with the new address, won't I?" And they said: "uh... no".
I moved recently, the vehicle is one thing I didn't consider. I've changed it with the insurance company, I'm guessing I'll need to make a trip to the Strassenverkehramt as well?
As to the residence permit I had a similar response to most people above, "Do I get a new permit?" answered with a a short "No".
I would expect this to be federal law, so not just Zürich.
Depends, probably not necessary .
It is absolutely clear in the Gemeinde legal statute that is is your responsibility to go and register with them in person, normally within 8 days, up to 2 weeks. It is not up to the previous Gemeinde/Commune to do so- and I just can't imagine any town clerk saying they would do it for you- as they all know it is NOT their job, and that you have to do it in person, and that not doing so IS clearly breaking the Law.
I moved inside the same canton (Zürich). I had to go to the new municipality to get my address changed on the permit - they just crossed it out, stamped the official stamp to prove it was a legal change, and passed the bill for doing it.
Why do people always post here "after the fact" ?
Why not come here before and just search or even ask..."Hey guys, i'm moving, what do I need to do?"
I always wonder how such people manage to move to another country.
