Before applying

  1. Check whether your matter falls within this in­sti­tu­tion’s powers and service area.
  2. Check the of­fi­cial website for the pro­ce­dure, re­quired doc­u­ments and online ap­pli­ca­tion options.
  3. Keep copies of sub­mit­ted doc­u­ments and proof of ac­cep­tance. Time limits depend on the type of ap­pli­ca­tion.

Office hours may differ from public re­cep­tion hours. Before vis­it­ing, check ap­point­ments, re­quired doc­u­ments and any changes.

The do­mes­tic hotline is 1678. The elec­tron­ic cabinet is in test mode; power cuts may cause in­ter­rup­tions. A rights com­plaint and an in­for­ma­tion request to the Sec­re­tari­at itself use dif­fer­ent chan­nels. The Com­mis­sion­er is not an ap­pel­late court: of­fi­cial guid­ance ex­cludes, among other matters, pre­tri­al or court pro­ceed­ings, labour dis­putes and com­pe­ti­tion-law dis­putes.
