Digital Registration to enter Germany

I will be driving from Prague to Germany next June. I have been reading a lot of information regarding requirements to enter Germany. I read everyone entering regardless of the way of entry must register electronically. This is from the Federal Ministry of Health website. Has anyone here registered? Has anyone been asked for this registration? It seems is a full time job just to keep up with requirements updates. I also read failure to register can led to hefty fine. If anyone has clarification, I will be very grateful

Even before entering Germany, you must carry out a digital registration on entry if, at any time in the ten days prior to your entry, you spent time in an area classified as a high-risk area or an area of variants of concern at the time of your entry. Please enter information on the places you stayed over the previous 10 days on the https://einreiseanmeldung.de travel portal. After filling in all of the necessary information, you will receive a PDF file as confirmation. Before transporting you to your destination, your carrier, as a rule, will check whether you are in possession of a confirmation. Otherwise, the carrier will not be allowed to take you. Please note that persons across all age groups must be registered and children under the age of 12 are not exempted

I'm in Germany right now and did not do this, nor have I heard anything about it. It's probably left over from when Germany was strictly enforcing Covid requirements.

It’s no fun to read all that bureaucracy stuff. The key information about Digital Registration is the following:

  • Digital Registration is required if you are arriving in Germany from countries designated as "high-risk" or "virus variant."
  • Countries defined as "high-risk" or "virus variant" since March 1st: none
