Procedure details

The consistent enforcement of the obligation to leave the country by the immigration authorities is becoming increasingly important in order to fulfill the legal mandate of the Residence Act - the control and limitation of immigration (Section 1 (1) of the Act on the Residence, Employment and Integration of Foreigners in the Federal Territory (Residence Act - AufenthG). The early clarification of identity is an essential prerequisite for the implementation of measures to terminate residence after the obligation to leave the country has arisen.

The Central Immigration Office conducts initial immigration law interviews with all new arrivals at the ANKER facilities with the involvement of native-speaking staff. These serve to gain information about the identity of the person concerned, the existence of proof of identity and the entry modalities.

Establishing the identity of asylum seekers and obtaining national passports and passport replacement documents are highly demanding and very specialized tasks.

The Central Aliens Authorities will generally be responsible for the legal support of asylum seekers until their stay is terminated. The main tasks are

  • clarifying the identity of all newly arriving asylum seekers without sufficient proof of identity at the earliest possible point in time,
  • close support under aliens law for those refusing to cooperate both during the ongoing asylum procedure and more intensively after its unsuccessful conclusion in order to establish their identity, and
  • the consistent termination of residence after an unsuccessful asylum procedure.
