Shrug. I went to the BuPo yesterday at Munich airport, and asked to re-register based on the easypass.de notice saying that it is required.

The nice team of police looked up my registration, and said it’s valid through the expiration of my passport. I asked if the rules were changing to 1 year, and the answer was a very clear no. I showed them (in German) the text saying re-registration was required, the guy looked up my passport, and said “no, you are valid though 2027, only non-residents are required to re-register”

This appear to be in conflict with the above mentioned PDF, which is in conflict with the text on the website, which is different than what the guys behind the counter said. In their defense, they said the rules are new (note: it’s October, and the rules went into effect in July, so … not really), so it’s unclear what will really happen next year when Entry-Exit kicks in. I guess I am going to end up getting into an argument with someone on a flight back to Europe with my US passport and resident permit.

For what it’s worth, I am a German resident, he did say that if I want to register for Entry Exit, this could not be done with the BuPo, but rather with the foreigners office at the competent authority (somewhat of an oxymoron, but it is what it is). For the city of Munich, it’s the KVR. I have less hopes of the Ausländerbehörde knowing anything about Easypass-RTP.
