You can use data transfer restrictions to prevent your registration details from being sent to specific organisations.
You can set up the following transmission blocks with your registration authority:

• Data transmissions to religious communities governed by public law
• Information to political parties, voter groups and other bodies submitting electoral nominations
• Information on milestone birthdays and wedding anniversaries

The transmission blocks are only set up for this place of residence. If you want to exclude data transmission for all residences, you must set up the transmission blocks with the relevant registration authorities.

Setting up transmission blocks is free of charge.

You can submit your application to have data transfer and access restrictions put in place via the ONLINE APPLICATION form .

Information blocks

The registration authority may provide third parties with simple information from the population register and, under certain conditions, extended information from the population register. You can request that no information from the population register be passed on to private individuals or non-public bodies. However, this is only possible if you can personally demonstrate that you or another person could be at risk to life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection if information is provided from the population register.

How is the application submitted?

You can only apply for the establishment of a transmission or information block in person at the Beckum Citizens' Office. You can submit the application informally or using the form below.
To do this, you must provide evidence of the risk by means of suitable documents (e.g. judgements, criminal charges, medical certificates, confirmations from victim protection centres, institutions for protection against violence, employers).
