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.

Pension scheme


In order to be able to enjoy retirement life right from the start, i.e. from the beginning of the pension entitlement, it is important to take care of the application for the pension in good time, because benefits of the statutory pension insurance are generally only granted upon application .

Applications are received by various bodies, which also provide the necessary forms and offer assistance.

Which documents are required?

Documents may be required. Please contact the competent authority.

What are the fees?

The inclusion of pension applications and the associated support in filling out and supplementing the application forms are free of charge.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

The start of a pension depends on a timely application. Therefore, it may be appropriate to first submit the application informally - e.g. by telephone or e-mail - in order to meet any deadline and to achieve the earliest possible start of retirement. In any case, you must submit the completed application forms and the additional required documents immediately.

What else should I know?

Until now, a pension has been paid from the age of 65 (standard retirement age). Since 2012, the age limit has been raised to 67 in small steps. Further information can be found on the Internet on the website of the German Pension Insurance.
