The city of Winterthur has grown continuously in recent years and enjoys a steady influx of new residents.

In Winterthur, the Residents’ Registration Office is responsible for registering new residents. It also processes all departures, changes of address or other changes in the personal data of residents. It issues certificates (residence cards, residence confirmations, certificates of legal capacity, life certificates and registration confirmations) and accepts applications for the Swiss identity card. It provides address information and keeps the communal register of voters and dogs. In addition, the Residents’ Registration Office is the first point of contact for foreigners residing in Winterthur and performs tasks on behalf of the Zurich Migration Office.
