Which place to enter?

The location is used to determine the responsible office for the selected administrative service. In most cases you can enter your place of residence to find the competent authority. However, there are also cases in which a different location must be specified. Here are some examples:

Birth certificateYou want to get married and need a birth certificate. You live in Hanover, but you were born in Celle. You must therefore state your place of birth, i.e. Celle.

Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Eligibility of grants from adult education institutions


Adult and further education institutions within the meaning of the Lower Saxony Adult Education Act are basically free in their education, the independent design of their offer and the selection of staff. Adult education centres, state institutions and adult education centres have the option of being recognised for receiving financial aid from the state. Grant eligibility does not imply general government permission or recognition.

Requirements

The requirements for grant eligibility are set out in § 3 NBEG.

Which documents are required?

The application for recognition of grant eligibility must contain information and evidence that reflects the existence of the requirements of § 3 NEBG.

Process flow

Before you submit an application for recognition of financial aid eligibility, you should check for yourself whether you meet the requirements of § 3 NEBG as an adult education centre, state institution or home adult education centre. If this is the case, we recommend that you seek advice from the Lower Saxony Agency for Adult and Continuing Education. Here you will also find all the information regarding the evidence and documents to be provided.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

You must have fulfilled the requirements of § 3 NEBG at least three years before submitting your application.
