About GEZ / ARD ZDF

The Rundfunkbeitrag is a legally required broadcasting fee for all households in Germany. You can only deregister when leaving Germany or if you qualify for an exemption, such as receiving benefits or having a disability. There is no standard notice period: contributions stop the month after your correct request is submitted. You apply for exemption or deregistration via the official Rundfunkbeitrag website or by letter. Time to Cancel helps you navigate this process quickly and easily.
