How to get a free Schufa
You have the right to see the data Schufa Holding AG has about you. This is why you can request a free Schufa report. It looks different from the 30€ report but has the same information. This free Schufa report has all the information your landlord needs.
- On this page, request a SCHUFA-Datenkopie.
- Enter your information and submit the form. You can include scans of your passport and a Anmelndung/Meldebescheinigung (Registration certificate), but it's not required.

☝ Anmelndung is a registration certificate that you get when you register in Bürgeramt

What is the difference between paid and free SHUFA?
- Paid
- You get it right away in your email.
You’ll need to confirm your account with a German bank!
- Data is organized and looks nicer instead of a free one.
- Free
- You need to wait for it for up to 1 week.
If you’re not in a rush - it’s fine. But if you are looking for a place ASAP, it’s probably not the best idea.

☝ Easier and faster - pay about €30 to get SHUFA + you’ll get a complimentary premium for 1 month from Immo24 (only if you buy it on Immo24)
