Jurisdiction
For the city of Dortmund, the city administration's Office for Migration (Amt für Migration) is responsible — the former foreigners authority, operating under a new name since 2025. The central location is Olpe 1, accessed through the Berswordthalle (entrance on Kleppingstraße). The office is organized into specialist teams: dedicated teams handle entry and employment, vocational training and studies, EU freedom of movement, humanitarian residence, family-based and permanent residence, and naturalization. So your specific matter determines which team and which contact form is the right one for you.
Responsible for postal codes 44135–44388 (27)
