Thinking of moving mid §16d, can I switch Bundesland or is that asking for trouble?

It *can* be possible, but it’s one of those things that can easily add months if you do it at the wrong time. §16d and recognition steps are often tied to: your address, the responsible authority (Bundesland), and sometimes a specific measure/provider (course/clinic). Risk-aware way to do it: • Before moving: ask both authorities what the “transfer” process is (Aktenübernahme / Weiterleitung der Akte). • Keep your file consistent (don’t change 5 things at once: Bundesland + provider + address + goal). • Expect new checklists and possible re-submission of “fresh” documents (Good Standing, police clearance, financing proof). If you must move: do it after you have a clear milestone (e.g., Defizitbescheid / invitation / scheduled exam) and make sure the new Bundesland can continue your process without restarting.
