    This answer is not correct: Our accounts and services - Berliner Sparkasse: Documents needed to open your bank account: Registration of your residence [Meldebescheinigung/Anmeldung] issued by city hall (Bürgeramt) ... If applicable: Residence permit [Aufenthaltserlaubnis] issued by the immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) Commented Feb 10 at 3:28
