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.

Donation advice


Anyone who would like to help with a donation often doubts which aid organization can and will actually provide help in your interest to the best of its knowledge and belief. Due to the many different organizations, it is often difficult to make a decision.

The German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI) certifies donation organizations by awarding a seal of quality. Every year, the activities of the certified donation organizations are monitored and recorded. In this way, precise information on the income, expenditure and financial situation of the organisations can be consulted in the statistics published annually. This does not mean that organizations that do not have a seal are now worse or do not manage funds properly. The DZI therefore also provides information on individual inquiries about organizations that do not have a seal.

You can find out more about the organisations listed in the alphabetical index on the DZI website or obtain information on individual organisations for a processing fee.
