Living in Germany as an American? We speak German so you don't have to.

What an in-country agent does in Germany
Germany hosts more American military families than any country in Europe, concentrated in the Kaiserslautern Military Community (the largest US community outside the United States), Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, and Bavaria. German bureaucracy is precise, deadline-driven, and conducted almost entirely in German — which is exactly where a bilingual agent earns their keep.
The Germany paperwork we handle
- Anmeldung (city registration) within the legal window
- Nebenkosten (annual service-charge) statement audits and disputes
- Kaution (deposit) recovery from landlords
- Rundfunkbeitrag (broadcast tax) registration and errors
- German health-insurance enrollment (public or private)
- US driver's-license conversion within the 6-month window
- Vehicle registration, TÜV, and US-car import
- SOFA-status paperwork, spouse-employment, and tax questions
