I can recommend going to Bürgeramt in Pankow.

My first registration was in Bürgeramt Wedding - appointment was scheduled one month before via Internet. There were lots of people waiting. Later on when I moved and had to register again, I tried to make an appointment, but it was impossible. My co-worker went to the Bürgeramt without appointment one hour before opening. Then he had to wait 3-4 hours. I went to Bürgeramt Pankow on Friday around 10:00 and there in 30 minutes it was done. It was not crowded. Later on when I asked around at work how is that, they told me that people seem to prefer to go to the nearest office (with hope that it will be quick enough) and wait several hours, than take 20-40 minutes of journey more and wait 0.5 an hour.

I got there at 7am, finally got sent 8 hours later. It's a mess and everybody knows it. The lady said everybody has quit or the desks were shut. You can't get an appointment in less than a 7 weeks and if you aren't angemeldet then you can't do anything. Life is on hold.
