Public authority number 115
The fast line to public administration

By landline or mobile phone - simply type in 115 without the area code - and you will receive information quickly, easily and competently.
The time-consuming search for responsibilities and individual telephone numbers is no longer necessary. Most enquiries can be answered immediately so that callers do not have to contact the administration a second time with the same request. Unnecessary visits to the authorities can be avoided.
The colleagues at the City of Chemnitz Service Centre are happy to help - whether it's questions about identity cards, vehicle registration, building sites or the availability of individual offices.
In addition, the Free State also provides answers on state issues - such as information on the digital income tax card, tax returns or copies from the land register.
Callers can also call 115 for information on federal tasks, such as parental allowance, customs regulations for travelling or setting up a business.
