Special Registration Requirements for Germany

• Acquiring a virtual phone number in Germany is a crucial step for both individuals and businesses looking to establish a strong presence in the country. At FlyNumber, we ensure that the registration process aligns with German telecommunications regulations, typically stemming from the local government entity that provides phone numbers to the public.
• For the registration process, here's what you need to know:
• Local:
• Name, business name, and contact phone numbers.
• Passport or ID copy. If registering under a company, provide a German company registration certificate instead of a passport or ID copy.
• Local address in the same city as the virtual number ordered in Germany.
• Proof of address form (copy of a utility bill no older than 6 months).
• If registering under a company name, a German company registration certificate should be provided.
• The address in your proof of address must match the address on your ID or German company registration certificate.
• National:
• Name, business name, and contact phone numbers.
• Passport or ID copy. If registering under a company, provide a German company registration certificate instead of a passport or ID copy.
• Address within Germany.
• Proof of address form (copy of a utility bill no older than 6 months).
• If registering under a company name, a German company registration certificate should be provided.
• Additional Notes: A local passport or ID copy should be provided. FlyNumber will provide the necessary German forms during the registration process.
• After we receive all the necessary information, it typically takes 1-2 business days for us to process your German order. Subsequent orders will be processed much faster once your first order has been approved.

Technical info on German phone numbers

• Germany uses a variable-length numbering plan for its telephone numbers, which can range from 3 to 11 digits (including the area code). The phone numbering system in Germany is regulated by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur).
• Country Code: The country code for Germany is +49 or 0049 when dialed internationally.
• Area Codes: Area codes in Germany (Vorwahl) are 2 to 5 digits long, excluding the initial '0' when dialing from abroad. The length of the area code depends on the size of the city or region. Generally, larger cities have shorter area codes, while smaller towns have longer ones.
• Local Numbers: The local phone number (Rufnummer) can be 3 to 9 digits long, depending on the area code's length. The total number of digits (area code + local number) usually ranges from 7 to 11, excluding the country code.
• Leading '0': When dialing a German number within the country, you must use the leading '0' followed by the area code and the local number (e.g., 030 for Berlin, followed by the local number). However, if you are dialing from outside Germany, you should omit the leading '0' and use the country code (e.g., +49 30 for Berlin).
• Mobile Numbers: Mobile numbers in Germany typically start with a 4-digit area code beginning with '015', '016', or '017', followed by a 7- or 8-digit local number. When dialing a German mobile number from abroad, you should use the country code (+49) and omit the leading '0' (e.g., +49 15x xxxxxxx or +49 16x xxxxxxx).
• Non-geographic Numbers: Germany also uses non-geographic numbers for various services, such as toll-free (0800), premium-rate (0900), shared-cost (0180), and personal numbering (0700).
