Central Register of Residents CRR

Central Register of Residents searches only for authorised persons

The Central Register of Residents (CRR) is a database of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). The CRR contains the data sets of all Austrian residents' registration authorities. The Register is a record of all people (natural persons) who are registered in Austria; the entries are constantly updated in real time by towns and municipalities.

Special requirements must be fulfilled to access the CRR. Access to the CRR for "other persons who are authorised to carry out searches" is regulated in Section 16a (5) of the Austrian Registration of Residents Act [Meldegesetz]. A person or business, a so-called "business partner", must apply to the Ministry of the Interior and substantiate that regular information from the Register of Residents is required for assertion or enforcement of rights or claims on a commercial basis. Professional groups are, e.g., lawyers, notaries, debt collection agencies, facility management firms, banks and insurance companies. Searches in the Central Register of Residents are subject to charges.

In a decision-making process the Federal Minister of the Interior will check whether a legal interest exists through a decision process. The application must be made in writing.
