The PDF you download is in German — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.
The application to the registration authority (Meldebehörde) to block your address from register enquiries (§ 18(2) of Austria's Registration Act, MeldeG): without a block, anyone who knows your name and a few other details can obtain your address. The block must be granted where you show a protectable interest to be credible — stalking, violence, threats or a well-founded fear of revenge, for instance — and lasts up to five years, even after you deregister. With your reasons, evidence and any children under 18. In German, ready to print and sign.

Common questions
- What does a block on information in the Austrian registration register do?
- Without a block, the registration authority tells anyone who identifies a person by name and further details where that person lives. With a block under § 18(2) MeldeG, that information is not given. It does not bind authorities, nor does it stop anyone who proves they are enforcing a legal obligation of yours. The block lasts up to five years, can be renewed, and stays in place even after you deregister. Apply for renewal in good time before it expires.
- What grounds are enough for a block on registration information in Austria?
- A protectable interest that you show to be credible; the block must then be granted. Typical grounds are stalking, violence or threats, but also a job that brings you into contact with people who might harm you. Enclose what you have: a police report confirmation, an interim injunction, a barring and approach order (Betretungs- und Annäherungsverbot) or a letter from your employer. The block is lifted if it is used to evade legal duties or its reason ends.
- Where do I apply for a block on registration information in Austria, and does it cost anything?
- At the registration authority — the municipal office or the Magistrat; in Vienna, a municipal district office (Magistratisches Bezirksamt). You can apply in writing by post, in person or by e-mail (§ 13 AVG). A fee may apply; the registration authority tells you how much, and this letter asks it to. The block covers your own data; the letter also names any children under 18 whom you represent.
