How do you register your address in Latvia in 2026?

Use the latvija.lv e-service “Submission of the declaration of the place of residence” when you can log in with a participating Latvian bank, eID, or secure electronic signature. Electronic filing usually avoids the state fee. Otherwise declare in person at PMLP or at the municipal residence registration office whose territory covers the address. Bring a passport or other valid identity document and complete the declaration form.

PMLP notes that if your residence-permit or registration-certificate application already contains the needed address data, that application can count as the declaration. You may also record one additional address in Latvia or abroad under current Residence Declaration Law rules. Keep a written confirmation if the desk issues one.
