Caution cost trap!

Caution cost trap!

services of the German broadcasting contribution service, ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice, like registration, deregistration, etc., are available free of charge and should be filled directly via the official website of Beitragsservice: www.rundfunkbeitrag.de.

Unfortunately, commercial third-party providers are currently offering costly services on the Internet, which could be easily confused with the official website of Beitragsservice. As a results costs are arising for an otherwise free of charge service.

To advertise their services, these commercial providers sometimes use similar domain names and use advertisements to buy a better ranking in search engines. Unlike the official website of Beitragsservice, the websites are marked as "sponsored" or as "advertisements".

All online services offered on the Beitragsservice website www.rundfunkbeitrag.de can be used free of charge. These include the registration or deregistration of an apartment for the broadcasting contribution or the notification in case of move, etc. The use of fee-based third-party services offers no advantage whatsoever!

Please be careful here! We recommend that you always check the legal notice of websites and read the general terms and conditions, and the small print carefully.
