Hello Guys, 

In continious to my previous post, once you arrived to Germany you will have 14 days (calendar Days) to register yourself in Townhall Registration or Rathus or Administration office (they are so many names they call but all these are related to registration office). 

For registration you need the following documents. 
(1) Your Passport original and xerox copy 
(2) You should have contract on your name i.e. the house which you rent should be in yourr name and they give contract papers (agreement papers) . I would always recommend to take for 1 month either individual house or service appartments or hotel or any frineds are accomidate you please check then if they provide the contract. This also original copy along with xerox. 
(3) Is you are married, then take your original marriage certificate and xerox. Let it me in English no issues. 
(4) Spouse Paaport xerox not required original
(5) If you have kids please take the passport xerox

The most important is the place where you are staying you need to register. In Every place there will be town registration office for perticular city or town. Please check with someone who already staying there and try to find the Rathus office and register. 

Once you submit all these documents they give the acknowledge immeditally and with in 14 days of time you get a post for your address. It says personnel identification number and this is your tax number and it is for life long still you stay in Germany. This is must should you have either you have job or not. For this sake only  mention please take 1 month rent for house so that you wont miss this document. 

If any one has any douts please reach out me through what's up : 00919742813336 or you can reach me @ +49 15214664814

National VISA for self and family on same day
Answer
9/26/18 12:36 PM as a reply to Bhaskar S.
Hi All,
I would like to say thank you to Bhaskar whose guidance on this forum helped me to process visa for me and my family. Bhaskar supported me well, helped me to clarify lots of doubt.
There was lot of confusions for me, but Bhaskar and this forum made my life little easy

I am adding my experience to process  visa for me and my family, covering the other portion, which can help others in this forum.
1) I applied for VISA for me and my family on same day
2) I did not had ZAV approval taken
3) My Master degree University listed in Anabin Database, however, my Master Degree not listed there
4) Since my Master Degree Certificate big in size(Slighly bigger than A3), VISA officer did not taken original, She has taken Copy of Original Master Degree Certificate
5) My Contract Start of date already crossed by 1 month, however, contract end date still valid
   Hence I taken another letter from my company, as they can onboard me even VISA process get delayed
6) Marriage Certificate does not had photos of me and my wife(Before 7 years it was like that)
7)  Name on the DD was not continues and not full as per given by German Consulate, since the name is long

Because of above challenges, I was doubtfull whether I will get VISA or not, had some sleepless nights emoticon
However, I received VISA for me and my family after 3 weeks on same day.
I got VISA for 6 month, family got for 3 months
I collected VISA for my wife by submitting Authorization Letter of her, child does not required Authorization letter, you can collect directly

I know most of the guys received VISA in 1 week, perhaps the challenges which I had might taken 3 weeks

Once again many thanks to Bhaskar and this forum

Hi, It's so good to read some positive news. I've been stressing since most of the posts mention 3-6 months for visa approval for spouse. I hadn't applied with my husband. My appointment is at the Chennai German Consulate in November. I hope the process gets done quickly. What about marriage verification in your case? Did the officer visit home? 
Thanks to you and Bhaskar for the detailed explanation.

Hi,
There was no marriage verification happen for us.
I submitted original marrriage certificate, also my and wife Passport reflecting our names as spouse 
We applied VISA same time and married before 5 years, could be that is reason.

However, during collecting Passport, I noticed there was woman who visited VISA office, she applied for dependant VISA later, she was struggling to get VISA as dependant for long time, finally she cancel her application and decided to apply as Schengen VISA to visit her husband.
I do not know exact background of her, but I seen that.

Be positive, you will get VISA
