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.

Preliminary building inquiry and preliminary building permit


If you would like to clarify individual legal questions regarding the permissibility of your building project before submitting a building application, you can submit a preliminary building inquiry. In the preliminary building application, you should formulate your question clearly and with sufficient specificity to enable a clear answer. Attach the documents required to assess the questions to be decided to the preliminary building application. The responsible lower building supervisory authority will provide you with binding information on these questions in a preliminary building permit.

A preliminary building application is useful, for example, if it is unclear whether a property can be built on at all in accordance with the applicable urban development planning law or whether deviations from individual building regulations requirements can be permitted. In addition, the developer receives planning certainty at an early stage regarding the buildability of a property or the permissibility of deviations.

In principle, builders can submit a preliminary building application. However, if the lower building supervisory authority deems it necessary for the preliminary building application to be prepared by a designer, then such a person is required.

The preliminary building application includes the building documents required for the assessment of the preliminary building application. A preliminary building application can save financial expenditure, as not all documents required for a building permit are necessary. The required documents and the specifications for the files are set out in the Lower Saxony Building Submission Ordinance (NBauVorlVO).

Who should I contact?

Please contact the lower building supervisory authority (district, independent city, large independent city, etc.).
