Data transfers to public bodies pursuant to §§ 34 ff. Federal Registration Act (BMG)

How long does it take to process

The automated retrieval is available to you at any time after registration. Your request will be answered synchronously, which means that the requested data - if available in the population register and if transmission is legally permissible - will be transmitted to you immediately. In the case of written requests for information, a processing time of several weeks must be expected.

What are the costs?

Data transmissions to other public bodies in Germany concerning the holding of data by the registration authority for subsequent automated retrieval are free of charge.

However, in the case of the written provision of information due to the fact that automated retrieval is not available, this only applies if the registration authority is responsible for the reasons for the lack of use of automated retrieval. A corresponding legal basis for charging fees for such written data transmissions is therefore currently being prepared.
