The place of work is important!

• Place of work and profession determine: Which competent authority is responsible for your recognition procedure? This is where your application is processed.
• We can only find your nearest free-of-charge counselling centre if you enter the place of work. The counsellors are especially familiar with the procedure in your federal state.
• The procedure can vary depending on the state. This means that costs, necessary documents or compensation measures can vary.

Still unsure where you would like to work? You can seek advice from the hotline. Or just enter a random town in Germany. This will give you an idea of the next steps.
