Before applying
- Check whether your matter falls within this institution’s powers and service area.
- Check the official website for the procedure, required documents and online application options.
- 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.
