If the BAMF has rejected your asylum application, the BAMF will also state in the decision you receive by post that you are now obliged to leave the country. 

If you have questions or objections to the BAMF's decision, you must contact the BAMF directly. The contact details for this can be found on the notice you have received from the BAMF, as well as the information on appeals, which explains how you can appeal against the decision if you do not agree with it (see under "i Where can I find out more?"). 

The Migration Office is also informed of the BAMF's decision. If you have not lodged an appeal or if the court has rejected your appeal with final effect and you have not yet left the country, the Migration Office must enforce your obligation to leave the country.
