Übermittlungssperre
A German registry opt-out that blocks specified disclosures from the residents' register, such as to address-book publishers, political parties, religious societies in covered cases, or for anniversary lists.
Full definition
An Übermittlungssperre ("transmission block") is a targeted objection filed at your local Bürgeramt against specified statutory transfers from Germany's residents' registry (Melderegister), including disclosures to address-book publishers, political parties in election contexts, press or radio for age and marriage anniversaries, and public-law religious societies in covered family-member cases. Unlike the §51 Auskunftssperre, these objections generally do not require a safety threat and do not fully hide your address; they apply only to the specified disclosure channels. They are not a general block on all marketing, address trading, or other lawful disclosures.
