Procedure

            			
Online notification: 


  • Call up the online form on the federal portal verwaltung.bund.de. This will guide you step by step through the necessary information, which you can enter electronically.
  • Note: You will need a valid ELSTER certificate to log in to the online form. Alternatively, you can use your electronic ID document.
  • You will need around 15 minutes to complete the online application. If you inform us of a change to the formation of a GmbH, it may take longer to complete (approx. 45 minutes).
  • First enter your personal details, including your insurance number. You will find this on the letter from the Künstlersozialkasse in the top right-hand corner.
  • On the next page, select your request.
  • When you make your selection, you will receive general information about your request.
  • You must then provide further information on the change in your activity that has occurred or is planned and you can upload further documents depending on your request.

Notification by post: 


  • Let us know informally what has changed in your activity.
  • Please also state your insurance number. You will find this in the top right-hand corner of the letter from the Künstlersozialkasse.
  • If available, please enclose evidence of the change with your notification.
  • If you are setting up a GmbH, please also complete the PDF questionnaires on the social security assessment of shareholders Part I and Part II and enclose these and the documents listed therein with your informal notification.
  • Put all the documents together, sign your notification and, if you are setting up a GmbH, also sign the two printed PDF questionnaires and send everything to the Künstlersozialkasse.

After receiving your notification, the Künstlersozialkasse will check your details. If there are any queries or (further) documents are required, the Künstlersozialkasse will contact you by post.
