Uniform authority number 115

    Description

    The 115 will provide you with answers to the most frequently asked questions by the authorities. It does not matter which authority, administrative level or responsibility is affected. For example:

    • I bought a new car, when does the registration office open?
    • Where can I apply for my new ID card?
    • How can I apply for BAföG?
    • Where can I obtain information from the population register?
    • How do I register a business?

    The goal of 115 is to answer your questions at the first contact. If this is not possible, you will receive a response within 24 hours during service hours, depending on your wishes by e-mail, fax or callback. This is guaranteed by the 115 service promise.

    The time-consuming search for responsibilities and individual telephone numbers is no longer necessary. Most inquiries can be answered immediately, so you don't have to contact the administration a second time with the same request. Unnecessary visits to the authorities are avoided.

    For deaf and hearing-impaired people, 115 can be reached via a sign telephone.
