Deregistration and refund are connected but separate
Deregistration confirms you have left Germany, which is relevant for refund eligibility. But they are two different processes handled by different entities.

FAQ
Do I need to deregister before claiming a pension refund?
Deregistration (Abmeldung) is not a formal requirement for a pension refund, but it supports your case by proving you have left Germany and are no longer contributing to the system. If your German address is still active, it can create confusion during the refund process. Our partner deregistration.de can handle the deregistration step, after which you can move directly into the refund process with Fundsback.
