About Burolix
Your Büro, made friendly.
Why Burolix exists
Moving to Germany is exciting — until you face the bureaucracy. Suddenly you need to register your address within 14 days, figure out which health insurance to get, open a bank account (that requires the registration you haven't done yet), and decode official letters written in dense German legalese.
Most students end up scrolling through scattered Facebook groups, outdated blog posts, and conflicting Reddit threads — wasting hours piecing together information that should be simple and accessible.
Burolix changes that. We give you a clear, personalized checklist of everything you need to do — in the right order, with city-specific details, required documents, and links to official sources. No guesswork, no outdated advice.
Built from experience
Burolix was built by an expat who went through every single one of these bureaucratic steps and wants to make it easier for everyone who comes next. Every guide is researched from official sources, verified against real experiences, and written in plain English so you actually understand what to do.

Help us improve
German bureaucracy changes. Office hours shift, forms get updated, and new rules come into effect. If you spot something outdated or incorrect, we genuinely want to know. Burolix gets better with every correction and suggestion from real users.
