Welcome to the service portal
Here you will find up-to-date information on your visit to the city administration and on municipal benefits, services and applicable legislation. Thanks to numerous online applications, there is no need to visit us or the relevant office for more and more services.
For almost all offices, an appointment must be made before your visit.
You do not need an appointment to visit
- to our citizens' service on the first floor of the town hall (applying for ID cards, re-registration, driving license matters, certificates of good conduct, vehicle registration) and
- for the welcome desk of the Foreigners' Registration Office on the 2nd floor of the Town Hall.
If you would like to apply for an ID card, there is a photo booth on the first floor of the town hall.
If there is a high volume of visitors, the Citizens' Service reserves the right to stop issuing numbers for the waiting area up to 60 minutes before closing time. In this case, please deal with your request on another day. You can make an appointment to exchange your driver's license online.
When you come to us: It is generally not permitted to bring dogs with you. Exceptions are only possible if a dog is required for health and educational reasons (e.g. assistance or school dogs) or if the dog owner has been requested by the city to present their dog at the office.
Sometimes our offices and facilities have to close at short notice. In these cases, we will inform you on this page under "Current service messages".
