Department

Integration/Ausländer

Jurisdiction

The immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) of the Osnabrück district sits in the Kreishaus am Schölerberg in Osnabrück and is responsible for the entire district. The independent city of Osnabrück is not part of this - it has its own immigration office. Organizationally, the office operates within Fachdienst 5 (Department 5.2 Integration and Foreign Nationals) and explicitly sees itself as a "welcome authority" (Willkommensbehörde), meaning one of the first points of contact for people who have immigrated to the district area. So if you live in the city of Osnabrück, you'll be dealing with a different authority than someone from the surrounding area of the district.

Responsible for postal codes 32361–49638 (33)
