Department
Ausländerbehörde
Jurisdiction
The Ausländerbehörde Braunschweig is responsible for the city area of Braunschweig and operates at a single central location. Internally it is split into several units by type of matter: a unit for employment and skilled workers, a unit for humanitarian and family-related residence, and a dedicated service point for students and visiting researchers. Naturalisations are handled by a separate naturalisation authority. So for your matter you turn to the appropriate unit, not to a single central point of contact. Since the start of 2026, the accelerated skilled worker procedure in Lower Saxony is no longer handled by the local Ausländerbehörde, but statewide by the central office.
Responsible for postal codes 38100–38126 (14)
