Phrases for a move
Town hall
A town hall does not care that you completed a streak. It cares that you can say why you are in the queue and what you brought. Pick the language of the office you will stand in.
Registering, asking where to queue, the document they will ask for.
- I want to register as a resident. Why you are there
- Where do I get the residence document? The card or certificate
- I brought the contract. What you carried in
- What documents do I need? The checklist
- Do I need an appointment first? Before you queue
- I do not understand this form. When the paper is opaque
- Could you repeat that more slowly? When they speak too fast
- I am here to collect the certificate. Coming back for paper
