FAQ

When do I need a Fiktionsbescheinigung?

If your current permit is close to expiry and your renewal is still pending, a Fiktionsbescheinigung can protect your interim status.

What is the legal basis?

A commonly used basis is Section 81 (4) Residence Act (AufenthG). Final application depends on case details and local authority practice.

Do I need to have filed my renewal already?

In many cases yes. Without a pending renewal, interim status is usually harder to support.

Is this tool legal advice?

No. It provides a structured request letter and practical guidance, not individual legal advice.
