The local municipal office where you handle address registration and other basic civic paperwork.

What it means in plain English

Citizens' office. The local municipal office where you handle address registration and other basic civic paperwork.

Common confusion

Bürgeramt and Bürgerbüro are office names, not separate procedures. The name varies by city, but for students the important point is that this is usually where address registration and similar local admin tasks happen.
