Issue of residential address

Providing the official address ensures that people can be registered at the Citizens' Registration Office and its registry. Other offices of the city administration or institutions also automatically receive this information, so that the registering citizen is spared many trips and inconveniences.

The allocation of house numbers serves the regulatory purpose of ensuring that the individual buildings on a street can be reached quickly and found easily by citizens, emergency vehicles, the fire department, police, postal services, etc. and to avoid orientation difficulties.
