Self-Disclosure DE/EN — bilingual, fillable template

The self-disclosure form is the structured overview of your financial situation — income, outgoings, assets and liabilities — that the bank needs to assess a loan. This template is bilingual and includes special fields for non-residents. The German mortgage requirements here are documented in full below — nothing held back for a form.

In short

What is the self-disclosure form?

The structured overview of your financial situation — income, outgoings, assets and liabilities — that a German bank needs to assess a loan. This template is bilingual (DE/EN), fillable on screen or for printing, and all its sections are set out in full on this page.

What does it have that a standard German form lacks?

Four entries for cases with residence or income abroad: country of residence and tax status (unlimited or limited liability), residence permit with type and expiry, income currency, and property held abroad with value and outstanding balance — otherwise it does not count as equity.

What do I get, and what does it cost?

The self-disclosure form as a fillable PDF (3 pages) plus a separate data-protection consent sheet, straight to your inbox, free — commission from the bank.

The difference

Four entries a standard German form does not have

The usual bank forms are cut for domestic cases. Where residence or income sits abroad, they lack exactly the fields the assessment hangs on — and the bank then asks for them one at a time:

  • Country of residence and tax statusunlimited or limited (NRA) tax liability — this decides which documents are needed (section 2)
  • Residence permittype, issue date, expiry, settlement permit — the first question for non-EU applicants (section 3)
  • Income currencya salary in francs, dollars or pounds is assessed differently from euros (section 6)
  • Property held abroadmarket value, outstanding balance and payment per property, with country — otherwise it does not count as equity (section 9)
