Help in bureaucracy jungle while making requests

Application confusion? You have to apply for something you need and do not know exactly how?

Here's Google's help in the bureaucracy jungle, how to get there without despairing.

Condition: You are thinking of a help / support / servicethat you are due to certain circumstances really required, you are subject to the laws applicable here and the need is concrete.


So, I just want to give you tips on where to best inform yourself on how exactly an application should look for what you need. So if possible with all information. This saves your and the authorities time, nerves and thus money!

I show the best way in my opinion, how, if one has not already received forms from official side, proceeds best.

You know what you want, then you need that legal basis. Where is it that you may be entitled to the object or service X as an aid?


To do this, you write down the Google search terms

  • APPLICATION FOR ... (please specify what you want to apply for)
  • APPROVAL (sorted before, in the sense of successful)
  • PARAGRAPH (spits out the legal basis)
  • PDF (printable to read in peace)

So search engine input z. B .:

  • "APPLICATION FOR BLABLABLA" "GRANTED" "PARAGRAPH" "PDF"

So you can get good results. If the search engine rumzickt, omit Gänsefüßchen.

It can also be helpful to go there, where you get what you want to apply for, eg. B. Sanitätshaus. (Except Himalayan excursions) ;-D, and to inquire about what is possible and how things are named etc.

I wish you success!
