Hi,
I am an American citizen studying in Germany. I have been living in Germany for about 7 months, I have my student Visa, and I also have my registration at the local Bürgeramt . Is that enough to prove residency in Germany so I can get an InterRail pass?

Thanks

Hi!

In order to be eligible for an Interrail pass you need a government issues document stating your residence in Germany.
This proof of residence will be accepted if:
- It is issued by the government.
- It is valid for the entire duration of your Interrail trip.
- It has an official mark or stamp from the issuing body.
- It clearly states the issuing country.
- It clearly states your name.

So the paper issued by the Bürgeramt should be enough. :)

HI! I am an American citizen studying in Germany. I have been seeing some stuff about needing to have lived in your country of residence for at least 6 months to be able to use Interrail. I have only been officially living in Germany for 3 by the time I would use my pass. Can I use Interrail or would I have to get Eurail?

Hi!

This used to be the case but is now not longer needed.
You can use Interrail if you can state your current residency in Germany by official (= govermental issued) docuements as written in my above post. :)
