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.

Integration projects for severely disabled people


If at least 25% of the jobs are filled by newly hired severely disabled people when setting up or expanding a company, funding can be considered as an integration project. Integration projects can receive services for construction, expansion, modernization, equipment and special expenses. Integration projects serve to employ severely disabled people of a specific target group on the general labour market, whose integration encounters particular difficulties due to the nature and severity of the disability. Integration projects are long-term, legally and economically independent partnerships or corporations that pursue commercial purposes. They are therefore market-oriented enterprises and not measure-oriented institutions.

Procedure:
The funding must be applied for informally. Upon receipt of the documents, the Integration Office commissions the NBank to examine the sustainable economic viability of the project.
