What is the Central Population Register (ZMR)?

The Central Population Register (ZMR) is an Austrian database maintained by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). It contains all registration data recorded by Austrian registration authorities and therefore includes all natural persons registered in Austria.

Entries in the ZMR are continuously updated by cities and municipalities, changes such as registrations or deregistrations are processed in real time. The register is used for the clear identification of persons in administrative procedures and for the secure management of registration data.

The ZMR thus forms the central basis for data exchange within the Austrian residence registration system and supports public institutions in the efficient administration of population data.
