You have had to pay GEZ broadcasting fees for your apartment since 2013. You can register for it online in just a few steps. We'll show you exactly how this works here.
1. GEZ broadcasting fee: Call up the registration mask and enter your personal data
The new radio fee is EUR 17.50 per month and apartment and is independent of the number of receivers. Here you will find the GEZ website for registering your household.
- To process your personal data, the GEZ needs the so-called "contribution number". You can find these in the GEZ cover letter asking you to pay the radio license fee. If you have not received any mail from the GEZ (and therefore do not have a contribution number), simply answer the question about an already registered apartment with "No", then this field disappears.
- It is not necessary to provide a telephone number, but at least you should provide an email address here.
- If you want to register a second (or third) apartment, you can add the address (es) in the next step.
2. GEZ: determine payment method
- In the second step you can determine the time at which you want to register the apartment with the GEZ (month / year). Click "Next" to go to the different payment methods.
- You can have the radio fee debited from your account annually, semi-annually and quarterly in advance or transfer it yourself. In addition to the prepayment, you can also have the contribution collected from your account in the middle of a three-month period, for example, the fees will be deducted on February 15 for January to March.
3. Confirm and off you go ...
- In the last step, all the entered data is clearly listed again, which you only have to confirm by entering a CAPTCHA security.
- After a few days you will receive the written confirmation by post back home. Now it's time to turn on the TV and turn on the radio - because you've paid ...
On the next page we will show you how to get back the GEZ fee that you paid too much.
