To utilize the services of the Regensburg City Library, a valid library card is required. Please complete the form thoroughly, providing all necessary information for the creation of your library card.

You can collect your library card on the next opening day at the counter of any of your locations. Please check the opening times in advance. Remember to bring an official photo ID with proof of address for verification, and if applicable, any documentation for a discount.

For partner library cards, please include the ID partner's details in the designated fields. These fields will appear after selecting the corresponding library card fee.

For minors (under 18), the details of a legal guardian must be provided in the relevant fields. These fields will appear after selecting the appropriate library card fee. A parent or legal guardian must sign a consent declaration when picking up the library card on site.

All information regarding the use of the city library, including the usage and fee regulations, can be found in our user regulations.

Caution: Registration for a library card is binding and requires in-person collection. Please transfer the fee amount or pay it at the circulation desk.
