Hello fellow expats,
I have to move again at the end of the month. Probably I must again visit the local Rathaus and alter my existing Meldebescheinigung? Sorry for asking so many questions. My HR support person at work hasn't answered my repeated queries.
Thanks,
Alison
Berlin

Yes, you need to book an appointment at a Bürgeramt (any will do) and then bring along your passport and the signed Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung issued by your landlord:

You book an appointment here:
https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/120686/
At the bottom of the page, check the box "Alle Standorte auswählen" and then click on the button "An diesem Standort einen Termin buchen".
On the next page, leave all boxes checked, i.e. that you will accept an appointment on any day of the week and at any time of the day and click on the button "Buchbare Tage anzeigen".
On the next page, you will be shown a calendar with the available days, click on one.
On the next page, check the box "Ich bin kein Bot" (I am not a Bot) and then click on the button "Termine anzeigen" right next to that statement.
You will now see all possible appointments that day, at all available Bürgerämter:
