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.

Guardianship law


Guardianship law is a special form of state legal welfare. It regulates legal assistance and care for adults who are unable to manage their own affairs due to mental illness or a physical, mental or psychological disability and are therefore dependent on the help of a guardian. Guardianship law makes it possible to provide adults in need of assistance with a representative who is authorized to carry out legal acts on their behalf within a precisely defined scope of duties.

This form of state legal assistance is only intended for people who have not already made provisions with a power of attorney for the event of a later need for assistance.

A family member can also be considered as a guardian.

Relatives and those affected can obtain support and advice from the local care office and care associations. The local care office and the care associations also provide support and advice on the topics of health care proxies, care orders and living wills.

People who would like to take on responsibility as a guardian can receive accompanying advice, further training and assistance in carrying out their duties from the local guardianship office and the guardianship associations.
