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.

Towing permit: issue


Vehicles which, by virtue of their design, are intended to operate as motor vehicles may not be operated as trailers. In individual cases, an exemption, the so-called towing permit, can be granted. Among other things, the following applies:

  • The towing vehicle may carry only one vehicle at a time.
  • Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of more than 4 t may only be carried with the help of a tow bar.
  • The lighting equipment prescribed or declared permissible for use as a motor vehicle may be fitted to the towed vehicle. Where they are not required for trailers, they need not be ready for use.

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the district, the district-free city and the municipality, joint municipality and city entrusted with this task.
